Description
Who We Are:EvolveImmune Therapeutics is a next-generation immunotherapy company pioneering a new class of precision cancer medicines to transform patient outcomes, compared to current solid tumor therapies. Our first-in-category biotherapeutic EVOLVE platform utilizes integrated T-cell costimulation to directly target tumor cells to deliver durable, tissue-localized anti-tumor adaptive immune responses. Our newly-expanded, state-of-the-art 16,000+ square foot laboratory and office space located in the New Haven, CT biotechnology corridor and our laboratory footprint in Farmington, CT support in-house biologics, immunobiology, and translational activities, enabling our rapid pipeline progress. This includes EV-104, our lead solid tumor program rapidly advancing toward IND filing.
The Role:
The company is seeking an entrepreneurial, industry-experienced leader as Executive Director of Research to help set and execute preclinical and early translational research strategies for current and future portfolio programs. This includes the implementation of advanced, functional in vitro human assay systems and the development and execution of in vivo pharmacology strategies to drive successful candidate selection for first-in-class portfolio projects and to identify precision therapeutic strategies. A strong emphasis on tumor killing, cytokine production, and T cell exhaustion assays, as well as on multiparameter flow cytometry assays, is expected. The candidate will also interface closely with the biotherapeutics discovery and translational development teams to achieve strategic and organizational objectives. Collaboration with our network of academic partners is a key aspect of this role, including managing the immunobiology activities of selected external research partnerships. Strong verbal and written communication skills are required, with evidence of a track record of scientific and project achievements in biopharma.
We are seeking a candidate who enjoys working in a team and can leverage the growth opportunities a matrixed environment provides. This is an exceptional opportunity for an agile, problem-solving-oriented scientific leader eager to advance immuno-oncology drug discovery to address the unmet medical needs of patients living with Cancer.
