About this role
• PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biochemistry, or related field • 8–15+ years of relevant experience in biotech, pharma, or CRO environments • Demonstrated expertise in bioanalytical method development, validation, and data interpretation • Strong understanding of both: • Ligand-binding assays (e.g., ELISA, MSD) • LC-MS/MS-based quantitation (hands-on experience not required, but deep conceptual understanding is essential) • Experience overseeing and critically evaluating CRO-generated data • Working knowledge of GLP bioanalysis and regulatory expectations (e.g., ICH M10) • Solid grounding in pharmacokinetics and interpretation of concentration–time data Preferred Qualifications • Experience across multiple molecular modalities (peptides, monoclonal antibodies, small molecules) • Background in analytical development or QC for regulated products • Experience supporting IND-enabling studies or clinical programs • Familiarity with complex or long-acting drug delivery systems
• Own bioanalytical strategy • Define fit-for-purpose analytical approaches for PK, PD, and mechanistic studies • Select appropriate assay platforms (ligand-binding, LC-MS-based, hybrid methods) • Lead CRO oversight • Design and manage outsourced bioanalytical studies • Critically review assay development, validation, and sample analysis • Identify deficiencies in methods, data quality, or interpretation and drive resolution • Ensure quantitative rigor and data integrity • Evaluate calibration models, LLOQ, accuracy/precision, and assay robustness • Detect and troubleshoot issues such as matrix effects, instability, adsorption, and assay interference • Establish internal standards for data quality across programs • Apply QC and regulatory principles • Ensure methods and datasets meet GLP and regulatory expectations (e.g., ICH M10) • Contribute to analytical sections of IND-enabling packages and regulatory filings • Implement quality systems and documentation standards where needed • Support cross-functional decision making • Work closely with PK/PD, biology, and clinical teams to interpret data correctly • Distinguish analytical artifacts from true biological signals • Provide clear recommendations based on quantitative evidence • Operate across modalities • Apply consistent analytical thinking across peptides, biologics, and small molecules • Ensure comparability and continuity of data across platforms and studies
