Research Technician I – Pharmacokinetics
We are looking for a Research Technician to join the PK Laboratory team to perform UHPLC and LC-MS/MS analysis of preclinical and clinical samples. This position is responsible for the receipt, organization, testing, and reporting of daily preclinical and patient specimens. The laboratory has a CAP/CLIA certification and laboratory technician will adhere to protocols and quality measures while performing sample preparation and analyzing preclinical and patient results.
Research Technician II – Preclinical
We are currently recruiting a highly motivated and driven Research Technician II (B.S. or M.S.) to join our in vivo/in vitro team. Candidates with experience in preclinical studies are desirable. Prior experience in conducting drug treatment studies and knowledge of signal transduction pathways is preferred.
Regulatory Project Manager
Our clinical operations team is seeking a Regulatory Project Manager who will be responsible and accountable for providing the coordination and leadership necessary for successful delivery of pre-clinical and clinical projects from initiation to implementation to close-out of assigned research activities of preclinical, sponsor-investigator, investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored trials.
