About The Position

The Precision Medicine group at Regeneron is responsible for designing, implementing, executing, analyzing and interpreting the overarching clinical biomarker strategies for therapeutic candidates during clinical development. We are seeking to hire a hands-on Precision Medicine Strategy Lead (PMSL) roles at the director level, with backgrounds in one or more therapeutic areas within the group. We are seeking someone to independently oversee the development and execution of biomarker strategies across one (or more) therapeutic areas depending on their areas of expertise, with a preference in obesity / metabolism pharmaceutical development.. The following therapeutic areas are in scope: Neurodegenerative Disorders, Cardiovascular Disease, Muscle and Metabolism Disorders, and/or Rare Genetic Diseases). In this highly matrixed role, they will design, develop, communicate at senior levels and operationally implement clinical biomarker strategies to support key programs in early and late stage drug development. Clinical technologies applied include biomarker assays, pharmacogenetic assessments, as well as other clinical and physiological testing devices. A typical day may include: Enhancing our understanding of indications at a cellular and molecular level Conducting novel biomarker discovery, qualifying new biomarkers/approaches to expedite proof-of-concept for new drug candidates. Optimizing label claims for later stage candidates, enabling personalized medicine principles to be applied, as appropriate, in full development. With a focus in therapeutic areas outside of Oncology, broad understanding of disparate biomarker technologies, and deep experience in biomarker assay development and validation in clinical drug development Responsible for conducting in-depth literature and technology reviews pertinent to assigned clinical development programs within the TFA, identifying and pulling in experts in multiple disease areas, navigating and supporting the logistical and regulatory factors pertaining to clinical technologies.
