Scientist II, Translational Science

BioReference Health•WESTON, MA

About The Position

ModeX Therapeutics is seeking a Scientist II to support the development and execution of biomarker strategies across early-stage clinical programs. The position contributes to designing, implementing, and interpreting biomarker studies that inform mechanism of action, patient selection, pharmacodynamic activity, and clinical development decisions. The successful candidate will analyze biomarker data from clinical studies, manage biomarker datasets, and conduct translational in vitro studies supporting biomarker discovery and method development. The role generates translational insights to advance therapeutic programs from early clinical development through proof-of-concept and supports data-driven decisions to improve patient outcomes and accelerate drug development. The Scientist II will work as part of a cross-functional team in a fast-paced, rapidly growing biotech company.
