Director, Precision Medicine; Cell Medicine

Overview

We are seeking to hire a Precision Medicine Scientific Lead to oversee the development and execution of biomarker strategies for novel cell therapies, cell‑transfer conditioning agents, and combinations with bispecific antibodies across multiple disease areas (Oncology and Immunology). In this highly matrixed role the Lead will design, develop, communicate and operationally implement clinical biomarker strategies to support selection programs in early and late‑stage drug development.

• Develop and implement the strategic vision for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and exploratory biomarkers for clinical studies to enable indication and/or patient selection and early identification of biological activity.
• Collaborate with Biomarker and clinical operation teams to design sample collection plans, analyze data and deliver results across all relevant clinical studies.
• Act as a key contributor and precision‑medicine representative to development, cell‑therapy characterization and discovery teams, integrating, influencing and delivering biomarker strategies from concept to execution.
• Partner with internal Regeneron laboratories and groups (e.g., Bio Analytical, Clinical Pharmacology, Molecular Profiling, CDX, Discovery Research, Analytical Innovations, DMSQ) to plan validation and application of assays in the clinic.
• Ensure complex clinical assays used in programs are fit‑for‑purpose, whether developed and validated internally or externally.
• Work with discovery research and product‑development teams to incorporate appropriate biomarker strategies into molecules from discovery to the clinic.
• Represent Regeneron externally through collaborations and presentations, and contribute to clinical protocol, schedule of assessments, study reports, technical reports, data agreements, scientific publications.

• PhD and 10+ years of experience in pharmaceutical or biotech industry, participating effectively on cross‑disciplinary teams.
• Experience in clinical assay development, validation and implementation, with a strong preference for expertise in Immunology.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, high emotional intelligence, organization and effective teamwork.
