The OMNI-Biomarker Development department at Genentech provides translational science support to inform the clinical development of novel personalized therapeutics in disease areas of Ophthalmology, Metabolism, Neuroscience, Immunology and Infectious Diseases (OMNI). Our biomarker strategies are designed to study the molecular pathways driving the disease and to establish the mechanism of action of our therapeutics. We focus on prognostic, predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarkers to enable our vision of “the right drug for the right patient at the right dose.”
The Position
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Scientist to join the OMNI-Biomarker Development Department within Development Sciences to drive our biomarker and drug development efforts in multiple sclerosis. Our department is responsible for defining biomarker and personalized healthcare strategies, designing and implementing biomarker assays in clinical trials, and interpreting biomarker results. Our group uses relevant biomarkers to evaluate disease heterogeneity, target-engagement, mechanism of action, and disease modification; and to guide clinical diagnostic biomarker development. Biomarker team leaders within the department provide scientific leadership for biomarkers in clinical trials ranging from early proof-of-concept through marketed products.
