This role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, supporting the development of cutting-edge therapies for cardiovascular and skeletal muscle disorders.

Responsibilities:

run the assay using the Sciex LC/MS-MS
* Perform bioanalytical analysis of small molecules in plasma and the tissue

using the Sciex LC/MS-MS.
* Data Analysis and Interpretation: Analyze experimental data using appropriate software and

statistical methods and provide clear and concise summaries of findings to support decision-

making.
* Documentation and Reporting: Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures, results,

and observations in laboratory notebooks and electronic databases. Prepare technical reports

and presentations for internal meetings and regulatory submissions.
* Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including medicinal

chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology, to support drug discovery and development projects.
* Lab Maintenance: Ensure proper maintenance and organization of laboratory equipment,

reagents, and supplies. Adhere to safety protocols and maintain a clean and safe working

environment.

Qualifications:

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related

field.
* Hands-on experience with DMPK assays, including screening, plasma protein binding, and

microsomal assays are preferred but not required.
* Proven analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to critically evaluate and interpret

experimental data.

Actual salary at the time of hire may vary and may be above or below the range based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the candidate's relevant qualifications, skills, and experience, as well as the service line and location where this position may be filled.
