About The Opportunity:

Scientist/Sr. Scientist Bioanalysis & Immunogenicity, DMPK

The Bioanalysis and Immunogenicity team within the DMPK department at Sanofi is searching for a (Sr) Scientist to join a team developing and running custom ligand-binding assays for research and development purposes. Assay applications will include pharmacokinetic (PK), immunogenicity (ADA) and biomarker (BM) assays in a non-regulated setting as well as oversight of transfer to and execution of assays at regulated labs for studies.

The applicant is expected to perform and/or oversee bioanalytical and immunogenicity work packages such as method development, qualification, validation and sample analysis. Expertise developing custom immunoassays on platforms such as ELISA, ECL (MSD) and other state-of-the art systems is required. The successful candidate will possess excellent self-organization and documentation skills and will be expected to present and discuss their own scientific results and provide input to project teams. Significant onsite presence will be required to perform and oversee laboratory activities.

We are looking for individuals who have relevant immunoassay development and qualification experience, preferably within the above-mentioned technology fields. Prior hands-on experience in a regulated bioanalytical laboratory (GLP/GCP/GCLP) is a plus.

In This Role You Will:

• Scientific responsibility for PK and immunogenicity bioanalysis in both non-regulated and regulated settings

• Devise bioanalytical strategy within a project

• Design, develop and validate PK, BM and/or ADA assays

• PK, BM and immunogenicity analysis to support in vivo and clinical studies

• Transfer assays and monitor bioanalytical studies internally to other global R&D sites or externally to CRO partners

• Work effectively with global project team members to support non-clinical drug development projects

• Report and discuss bioanalytical and biomarker results with integrative knowledge of how the data contributes to the drug development process

• Author comprehensive bioanalytical plans and reports as well as relevant sections of clinical study reports, submission dossiers and publications

• Actively contribute to scientific discussions and drive technical project progress

About You:

• PhD in a life sciences field that includes immunoassay development (e.g. biochemistry, immunology, biology, etc.); or MSc, with 3+ years or BS with 6+ years of relevant experience. Level commensurate with experience.

• Strong background in immunoassay development using technologies such as ELISA, MSD, Gyros, etc.

• Strong knowledge of immunogenicity and principles of bioanalysis: familiarity with current bioanalytical and immunogenicity regulatory guidance (FDA/EMA/ICH) is a plus

• Quality-oriented - Prior experience in a regulated bioanalytical laboratory (GLP/GCP/GCLP) is a plus.

• Excellent time management and organization skills

• Strong communication (verbal, written, interpersonal, listening) skills
