Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and execute translational research strategy for one or more of Replimune’s ongoing clinical and pre-clinical programs.
  • Develop strategies to integrate different data modalities, including NGS, single-cell transcriptomes, digital pathology, with clinical observations to derive mechanistic and biomarker insights.
  • Collaborate with, and manage CROs to identify predictive biomarkers with an emphasis on the development and validation of pharmacodynamic assays to support ongoing clinical and pre-clinical studies.
  • Process images from immuno-histochemistry assays and identify feasible ways to quantify the staining of the slides. Develop and analyze data tables, graphs and reports from gene expression analyses, clinical pharmacokinetic studies and other translational research studies.
  • Maintain project timelines for translational and clinical pharmacokinetic studies and facilitate sample testing to meet deadlines for abstract presentations and manuscript submissions.
  • Perform correlative analysis of biomarker data with patient responses in collaboration with clinical development and biostatistics.
  • Work closely with the clinical operations, external collaborators, and contract research organizations (CROs) to execute translational research studies.
  • Act as a liaison to transfer translational research related assays between internal and external labs.
  • Author the biomarker sections of Investigator Brochures, clinical study protocols and reports, program documents, regulatory submissions and responses (INDs/CTAs), and relevant pharmacology sections of regulatory documents.
  • May be asked to sit on study specific project team meetings and present translational research data as necessary.

Other Responsibilities:
  • Perform a variety of tasks, duties and responsibilities as assigned from time to time.
