Associate Director/Director, Platform Biology - Emeryville, United States - Totus Medicines
1 week ago
Description
Totus Medicines is an innovative therapeutic drug discovery biotech that has developed a platform focused on targeted covalent drugs. This novel proprietary platform will enable Totus to deliver candidates against challenging targets in months, not years - 100,000 times faster than competitive technologies and has the potential to expand the spectrum of drug targets to be screened for any disease process.
Totus discovered its first-in-class covalent program in 4 months and entered Phase I in 2023. Totus also plans to expand their platform to create therapeutics targeted at neurodegeneration, infectious diseases, and others. We are searching for talented, passionate, agile candidates to join our team.
This broadly impactful role will report to the Head of Platform and manage a team providing leadership in the selection, assessment, and preparation of targets for phenotypic DEL screening using the Totus Discovery Platform. The Platform Biology team will also lead efforts to confirm, validate, and characterize resulting small molecule hit compounds engaging protein targets of interest in addressing multiple disease areas.
