Scientist, Translational Research Science, Haem R&D

Introduction to role 

Are you ready to turn innovative translational science into meaningful progress for people living with blood cancers? As a Scientist, within the Translational Research Science Haem R&D team, you will be part of high-caliber team to design and deliver translational assays and data that steer clinical trials, sharpen pre-clinical decisions, and unlock new combinations across indications. Your work will have a special focus on generating impactful data, ensuring our programs move forward with clarity and confidence. 

In this role, you will shape how we understand tumor biology, minimal residual disease, and resistance mechanisms—translating insights into actions that accelerate our pipeline. You will connect laboratory discovery to clinical strategy by integrating translational scientists with discovery, data science, and clinical teams. Do you thrive at the interface of bench science and patient impact, where meticulous execution meets critical thinking? 

Accountabilities 

• Reporting to a Sr Scientist/Associate Director, lead hands-on execution of non-clinical and translational experiments focused on hematological tumor biology. Tasks include assessing target expression post-treatment, applying reverse translation to reveal resistance mechanisms, and informing new combination strategies across multiple indications.  

• Assay development for hematologic Malignancies: Build and validate translational assays supporting programs across different heme indications to broaden portfolio impact. 

• Scientific communication: write technical reports, SOPs and present data to stakeholders, that clearly convey methodologies, findings, and implications for development. 

• Quality and compliance: Perform all duties in compliance with internal SOPs and external regulations, embedding standard methodologies and reproducibility in every study. 

Required technical skills and experience 

• At least 2 years of research experience in academic or industry setting. Previous translational research experience in hematological malignancies is highly desired. 

• Proficiency in cell culture techniques, immune-based assays (Western Blot, ELISAs, Flow Cytometry, Luminex/MSD), gene expression (NGS, qPCR and/or Quantigene) and data analysis platforms (e.g. FlowJo, Prism, R, OMIQ) is required.  

• Experience writing technical reports and SOPs is required. 

• Experience with biospecimen managing and handling (sample tracking software’s, liquid nitrogen storage systems) and general lab management (e.g. supplies ordering and inventory) 

• Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills for cross-functional interactions. 

• Dedication to carrying out all duties according to internal SOPs and external regulations.
