About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Provide strategic and scientific biomarker leadership across Oncology and Hematology portfolios
- Lead design, execution, analysis, and communication of translational and clinical biomarker strategies from early through late clinical development
- Develop decision-centric biomarker strategies integrating therapeutic mechanism, disease biology, pharmacodynamics, molecular heterogeneity, patient selection, response and resistance, dose and regimen selection, and clinical endpoints
- Develop and lead integrated biomarker strategies with cross-functional development teams
- Translate disease biology and therapeutic mechanism into translational hypotheses and fit-for-purpose biomarker approaches
- Define biomarker applications for proof of biology, target engagement, dose and regimen selection, patient selection, response assessment, resistance mechanisms, and go/no-go decisions
- Serve as biomarker representative on cross-functional program teams and provide strategic input to program-level decision making
- Partner with Discovery, Clinical Development, Quantitative Sciences, Regulatory, Data Science, Clinical Operations, Pathology, Diagnostics, and other functions
- Lead interpretation of biomarker and clinical datasets and translate findings into actionable recommendations
- Characterize disease heterogeneity, molecular drivers, treatment response, resistance mechanisms, and determinants of clinical outcome
- Develop patient-selection and precision-medicine strategies using genomic, transcriptomic, protein-expression, cellular, and disease-specific biomarkers
- Apply circulating and tissue-based approaches including ctDNA, minimal residual disease, molecular profiling, immunophenotyping, and pharmacodynamic biomarkers
- Develop hematologic malignancy strategies incorporating molecular response, measurable residual disease, clonal evolution, mutational burden, lineage or cellular phenotype, and resistance-associated alterations
- Develop solid-tumor strategies addressing target expression, tumor biology, molecular subtype, immune contexture, circulating biomarkers, response and resistance mechanisms, and predictive biomarkers
- Evaluate emerging biomarker technologies and analytical approaches
- Contribute to companion diagnostic or regulatory biomarker development
- Communicate strategies, results, risks, and recommendations to teams, governance groups, and stakeholders
- Provide scientific guidance and mentorship to biomarker scientists
- Support publications, scientific presentations, external collaborations, and interactions with external experts
