Job DescriptionWe are seeking a highly motivated and creative Scientist with a scientific background in immunology or immuno-oncology to join Precision Medicine Translational Research Immunology Group as Principal Scientist at AbbVie. The candidate will provide leadership in clinical biomarker strategy and assay development in inflammatory/autoimmune disease areas, including Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology and Fibrosis for AbbVie’s drug development programs from late discovery to clinical trials. The successful candidate will be part of a growing translational research group working with cross-disciplinary teams both internally and externally.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead biomarker strategies through cross-functional teams in a matrix environment to identify gaps and develop fit-for-purpose clinical TE/PD biomarker, predictive and exploratory biomarker assays to support human dose projection and establish early signs of efficacy in clinical trials and patient selection strategies.
Collaborate with Data Science team and Precision Medicine lead to analyze internal and external omics data, understand heterogeneity of diseases, identify disease endotypes, support disease strategy and generate patient selection and combination hypotheses for further testing with preclinical studies.
Develop preclinical patient derived disease models, design studies with appropriate controls and endpoints to understand drug target mechanisms for PD biomarker development and evaluate biomarker hypotheses and combination strategies.
Serve as a subject matter expertise in analytical methodologies/technologies for translational research including single cell and spatial omics, proteomics, methylomics, metabolomics, genomics, NGS, MSD, ELISA, Luminex, flow cytometry, ex vivo primary cell culture and organoid-immune cell culture.
Manage external CROs and academic collaborations including study proposal, budget, timeline, and data review.

Experienced in designing and conducting single cell omics, spatial omics, genomic-based assays and developing analytical workflow to generate or validate biomarker hypotheses.
Knowledgeable with integrative analysis of multi-dimensional datasets using bioinformatics tools and methods (e.g., R, Python, SQL, AI/ML, HPC and cloud environments)
Strong project leadership and organizational skills to prioritize tasks and allocate resources to meet projects’ goals in a tight timeline.
Experienced in managing CROs and collaborators, facilitating meetings, and working independently and collaboratively with multi-functional teams in a dynamic and fast paced environment.
