SUMMARY:

This position describes the principal clinical person on a project at pre-clinical or early clinical development stages. The projects are likely to combine neurology and psychiatry indications and the key task will be to understand what biology can be targeted by the molecule under development, how this biology can be explored in the clinic and how results of this exploration can lead to an indication selection and to structuring a clinical development program for this indication. The projects will be multi-faceted, and this individual will lead a matrix team.
Location: Manhattan, New York, US

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

  • Responsible for taking a molecule from the pre-clinical phase to the clinical phase of development
