We advance science so that we all have more time with the people we love.

The Respiratory group in Translational Medicine at Genentech is seeking a highly talented, driven and motivated lab-based Scientist to support our research and clinical development activities in immunology and respiratory diseases. Our department is responsible for defining and executing biomarker strategies in our clinical trials, and using human clinical translational research to generate novel target and biomarker approaches. Through our clinical trials, as well as our translational research efforts, our group identifies and implements biomarkers to evaluate disease heterogeneity, target engagement, mechanism of action, and disease modification.

The successful candidate will be expected to work independently and collaboratively supporting clinical development and translational research for immunology and respiratory diseases, providing scientific and technical expertise and generating high quality data through rigorous scientific approaches. Excellent communication skills will facilitate fruitful and open collaborations with other functions including Research, Bioanalytical Assay Science, Diagnostics, Clinical Pharmacology, Clinical, Biostatistics and Computational Sciences. The successful candidate will be expected to present their work to the department, cross-functional teams, internal review committees and external conferences.

The Opportunity:

As an integral member of this dynamic team, you will be:

• Discovering and evaluating candidate targets or biomarkers

• Developing and implementing biomarker assays in preclinical models and clinical trials
