Form of workJanssen Pharmaceutical, a member of Johnson & Johnson's Family of Companies, is recruiting for a Scientist, Translational Science (TS), Immunology Translational Science and Medicine (TSM). The position will be located in Spring House (PA), La Jolla (CA), Cambridge (MA) or performed remotely.
At the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, what matters most is helping people live full and healthy lives. We focus on treating, curing and preventing some of the most devastating and complex diseases of our time. And we pursue the most promising science, wherever it might be found.
We are Janssen. Our mission drives us. Our patients inspire us. We collaborate with the world for the health of everyone in it.
Janssen Immunology has a history of bringing life-changing therapies to patients with immune-mediated diseases. One Development is an integrated group of clinicians and scientists composed of a clinical Translational Medicine (TM) team which conducts early clinical development and experimental medicine studies, a clinical Late Development (LD) team which conducts late clinical development, and a translational science (TS) team which uses human based data and tissues to support the end to end portfolio. Together, One Development will provide the key learnings/insights on the next wave of novel therapies for these patients. Organizationally, TSM (TS and TM) also serves as a pivotal bridge between Discovery Research and the LD group.
TS has a broad remit stretching from support of discovery with human data to support target selection, through development of novel decision- making biomarkers for early phase clinical trials, target-centric indication sequencing and prioritization, and biomarker support of regulatory filings. TS has expertise in biomarker development, disease biology research and in the application of immunology and data science technologies to support drug discovery and development.
