* Experience with the design and execution of in vivo studies to determine the effects of T Cell Engagers on biological systems with line of sight to human safety may be considered an advantage.
* The ability to build an understanding of biology around novel drug targets and pathways, develop testable hypotheses, and drive scientific learning.
* A collaborative, team-oriented approach, able to solve problems in a goal-focused fashion with capacity to coordinate tasks across multiple projects.
* Excellent communication, presentation, interpersonal and influencing skills across levels/subject areas with a strong desire to drive personal development within an industry setting.
