Resumen
LI#-Hybrid
This position will be located in Cambridge, MA and will not have the ability to be located remotely.
The number 1 cause of death in men and women globally is cardiovascular diseases, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year (nearly a third of all death). Novartis is committed to developing transformative treatments for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, including heart failure, arrhythmias and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, as well as diseases across a wide range of therapeutic areas.
The Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR) is the innovation engine of Novartis that collaborates across the company and beyond, focusing on powerful new technologies that have the potential to help produce therapeutic breakthroughs for patients. Translational Medicine (TM) is the clinical research arm of NIBR, and includes about 900 associates globally. TM plays a pivotal role in bringing innovative medicines to patients, by building on research advances to develop new therapies, and bridging drug discovery and clinical application.
The TM Discovery & Profiling (TMDP) is a group of physicians and clinical researchers who drive innovative science from discovery to the patient through the selection, profiling, and effective development of medicines. Translational medicine experts oversee Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials to demonstrate proof-of-concept (PoC) in patients, as well as support for Phase 3 development. Translational medicine experts are key and highly visible members of global cross-functional project teams that design and implement early research and discovery projects, that then culminate in clinical PoC studies. Translational medicine experts collaborate with colleagues in biology and chemistry to identify targets in diseases with significant unmet medical needs and provide input on likely clinical development pathways. The PoC studies led by our translational medicine experts are among the most critical steps in drug development at Novartis. After PoC and if the program proceeds to full development, the translational medicine expert continues as a key member of the full development team up to and including registration.
As a Cardiovascular Metabolism (CVM) TM Expert, you will collaborate with the CVM TM Head or other experienced TM Expert to develop high value decision-strategies for the Translational Medicine component of drug development projects and lead global cross-functional project teams through the PoC phase and beyond.
