We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place.To fully realize Pfizer’s purpose – Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives – we have established a clear set of expectations regarding “what” we need to achieve for patients and “how” we will go about achieving those goals.This position is based at our Bothell, WA site which is approximately 15 miles from the downtown Seattle area.POSITION SUMMARY
You will participate in pre-clinical drug discovery and development projects with a focus on ADC Biology and Cancer Immunology. You will be responsible for working with project teams to design, plan and execute an in vivo strategy to ensure efficient and effective decision-making. You will also be a key stakeholder/ contributor to the
In Vivo
Committee, responsible for vetting study designs and strategies and ensuring timely completion of research project objectives. You will directly supervise laboratory staff that make up an
in vivo
team responsible for study execution and data analysis, in addition to playing a role in the In Vivo Pharmacology department strategy. You will provide technical and scientific expertise in
in vivo
pharmacology across the Oncology Research Unit (ORU) to enable target identification, validation, prioritization and efficient drug discovery.POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
Collaborate across project teams to establish
in vivo
strategy and study plans for drug discovery projects.Serve as the in vivo pharmacology lead for several drug discovery projects. Ensure that projects have all critical
in vivo
data to enable project stage dependent decisions.Work within multi-functional teams to support target identification, validation, drug discovery and combination therapy.Work across in vivo teams in a highly collaborative manner, sharing expertise and resources to meet study needs across In Vivo Pharmacology.Design and conduct
in vivo
studies to evaluate and establish efficacy, PK/PD relationship, combination strategy, biomarker identification and analysis.Supervise and guide a small team of scientists.Develop and characterize new in vivo mouse models, including cell-line derived xenografts, syngeneic tumor and genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models, to study biologic mechanisms and support exploration of novel cancer immune therapeutics and targeted therapies.Ensure team members comply with all regulatory requirements and internal policies.Facilitate and lead the development and execution of ancillary in vitro assays necessary to maximize value of the contribution by the in vivo team, if necessary.Interpret, present and document experiments as well as prepare reports. Written and verbal presentation of results within a multidisciplinary team environment.Contribute to relevant in vivo sections of study reports and regulatory documents e.g., IND filings.Publication of results in scientific peer-reviewed journals and presentations at internal, national, and international meetings.QUALIFICATIONS
Must-HavePh.D. in Cancer Biology, Immunology, Genetics or a related discipline.Minimum 5 years industry experience including technical and scientific experience in drug discovery and preclinical development.Experience in collaborative research in Oncology drug discovery programs.Experience with animal models of human cancers.Hands-on in vivo (e.g., IV, PO dosing, blood/tissue collection) and ex vivo skills (e.g., flow cytometry, western blot, ELISA).Experience supervising a small team of Scientists.Excellent written and oral communication and presentation skills.Proficiency with all common office and scientific software.PreferredStrong track record of publications or evidence of equivalent achievements in industry.Experience with GEMM and humanized models.Experience with Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC).PHYSICAL/MENTAL REQUIREMENTS
