Scientist/Scientist II, Translational Medicine
About The Position
About Jade Biosciences Jade Biosciences is focused on developing innovative, best-in-class therapies to address critical unmet needs in autoimmune diseases. Our lead candidate, JADE101, is designed to inhibit the cytokine APRIL (A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand) and is being developed for the treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), a chronic kidney disease that can impair kidney function over time. JADE101 aims to reduce harmful IgA antibodies, lower proteinuria (a key marker of kidney damage), and preserve long-term kidney function. A Phase 1 healthy-volunteer study of JADE101 is ongoing, with interim, biomarker-rich data expected in the first half of 2026. Jade’s pipeline also includes a second development candidate, JADE201, and an undisclosed antibody discovery program, JADE-003, both currently in preclinical development.
