• Accountability for ensuring that biomarker assays are fit-for-purpose (whether developed and validated internally or externally).
• Collaborating with internal Regeneron functional groups (including Discovery Research, Molecular Profiling, Regeneron Genetics Center, DNAcore, BioAnalysis, etc.) to develop plans for validation and application of research assays.

This role might be for you if:

• You possess high emotional intelligence, organizational skills, and effective team leadership skills.
• You have the ability to drive, manage, complete, and deliver results for complex multi-functional projects.
• You thrive in a matrixed environment by effectively collaborating across multiple teams and departments, demonstrating strong communication and organizational skills to achieve common goals.

To be considered for this opportunity, you must have: Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree with post-doctoral experience and 5-10 years pharmaceutical industry experience, including clinical biomarker experience.
