Toxicologist

At Inductive Bio we're tackling the challenge of making drug discovery more efficient. Chemists spend countless hours combining data, expertise, and intuition to create new molecules that are effective, safe, and work well in the human body. It's a slow, complex process, and the patients are the ones left waiting. At Inductive Bio, we're building an intuitive, collaborative platform, powered by state-of-the-art AI to help accelerate this process.

Our platform is already being used on dozens of active drug discovery programs, and adoption is rapidly growing. We are backed by leading investors at the intersection of technology and biotechnology, and our team includes world-class technology and drug discovery experts. After achieving quick adoption via word-of-mouth, we are now expanding our capabilities to build state-of-the-art in silico models for toxicity prediction.

We are seeking a senior Toxicologist to serve as our primary subject matter expert in toxicology, with an initial focus on liver and cardiac safety. In this role, you will help shape our scientific offering, ensure that our models are rigorously validated, and guide us toward solutions that have meaningful impact in real-world drug discovery programs.

What you'll do:

• Serve as Inductive Bio's lead subject matter expert in toxicology, with a focus on liver and cardiac safety
• Guide the development of in silico toxicity models, ensuring scientific rigor, biological relevance, and translational utility
• Provide toxicology consulting support for partner programs
• Define the scientific standards, benchmarks, and validation approaches that underpin our toxicology offerings
• Collaborate with internal machine learning and chemistry experts to translate toxicological principles into predictive models
• Provide expert input into customer engagements, building credibility and helping to shape solutions tailored to partner needs
• Stay current on the evolving regulatory, scientific, and technological landscape in preclinical toxicology, bringing insights back to the team
• Contribute to external scientific presence, including publications, presentations, and conference participation

Who you are:

• PhD in toxicology, pharmacology, or a closely related discipline
• 15+ years of experience in drug discovery or development with deep expertise in toxicology (preferably in both preclinical and translational contexts)
• Strong expertise in hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity, with familiarity across additional organ systems a plus
• Proven track record of applying toxicology insights to support decision-making in drug discovery or development programs
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to both scientific and non-scientific audiences
• Experience interacting with regulatory authorities and knowledge of FDA/EMA/ICH guidance a strong plus
• Collaborative, pragmatic, and entrepreneurial-comfortable working across disciplines in a fast-moving startup environment
