Summary:
This position is in the Investigative Toxicology Group within the department of Safety Assessment in Research and Early Development organization. The mission of the Investigative Toxicology group is to elucidate the mechanisms underlying toxicities that are observed non-clinically and/or in clinical trials through hypothesis driven research. This process involves closely collaborating with scientists across the organization to support the overall safety assessment for our novel therapeutics spanning drug discovery through clinical development and marketing. The group provides fit-for-purpose wet lab-based investigation to address target safety assessment, lead optimization, and issue mitigation by employing state-of-the-science in vitro and ex vivo approaches. As such, we are constantly establishing new platforms and technologies to support a constantly changing portfolio, novel modalities, and emerging therapeutic area needs. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to work in collaboration with other researchers in the Investigative Toxicology lab. This individual must have experience in cell culture and will be responsible for: culturing and expanding primary cells and cell lines for in vitro screenings and performing assays which may include assessments of cytotoxicity and metabolic changes of cells, capturing cell culture images using high content imaging, flow cytometry, and other technologies. This individual will be working with cells from a broad range of tissues (immune cells, blood, liver, vascular, ocular, immortalized cell lines) and is expected to make detailed observations related to experiments, perform, analyze data, and interpret results. This individual will contribute scientific insights and work in projects related to peer review publications.

Scientist I/II position in the Investigative Toxicology group within the department of Safety Assessment located in our South San Francisco campus. The Investigative Toxicology group’s goal is to use ex vivo and in vitro tools to assess safety liabilities and mechanisms of toxicities observed pre-clinically to support the entire portfolio spanning discovery through development. This laboratory-based role involves performing, qualifying, and implementing biological assays and technologies to support the Investigative Toxicology group.
