About The Position

Are you ready to turn innovative translational science into meaningful progress for people living with blood cancers? As a Scientist, within the Translational Research Science Haem R&D team, you will be part of a high-caliber team to design and deliver translational assays and data that steer clinical trials, sharpen pre-clinical decisions, and unlock new combinations across indications. Your work will have a special focus on generating impactful data, ensuring our programs move forward with clarity and confidence. In this role, you will shape how we understand tumor biology, minimal residual disease, and resistance mechanisms—translating insights into actions that accelerate our pipeline. You will connect laboratory discovery to clinical strategy by integrating translational scientists with discovery, data science, and clinical teams. Do you thrive at the interface of bench science and patient impact, where meticulous execution meets critical thinking?

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of research experience in academic or industry setting.
  • Proficiency in cell culture techniques, immune-based assays (Western Blot, ELISAs, Flow Cytometry, Luminex/MSD), gene expression (NGS, qPCR and/or Quantigene) and data analysis platforms (e.g. FlowJo, Prism, R, OMIQ) is required.
  • Experience writing technical reports and SOPs is required.
  • Experience with biospecimen managing and handling (sample tracking software’s, liquid nitrogen storage systems) and general lab management (e.g. supplies ordering and inventory)
  • Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills for cross-functional interactions.
  • Dedication to carrying out all duties according to internal SOPs and external regulations.

Nice To Haves

  • Previous translational research experience in hematological malignancies is highly desired.

Responsibilities

  • Lead hands-on execution of non-clinical and translational experiments focused on hematological tumor biology.
  • Assess target expression post-treatment.
  • Apply reverse translation to reveal resistance mechanisms.
  • Inform new combination strategies across multiple indications.
  • Build and validate translational assays supporting programs across different heme indications to broaden portfolio impact.
  • Write technical reports, SOPs and present data to stakeholders, that clearly convey methodologies, findings, and implications for development.
  • Perform all duties in compliance with internal SOPs and external regulations, embedding standard methodologies and reproducibility in every study.

Benefits

  • qualified retirement programs
  • paid time off (i.e., vacation, holiday, and leaves)
  • health, dental, and vision coverage
