Does this inspire you and feel like a fit? Then we would love to have you join us!

The Role

The Bioanalytical Science department is responsible for developing fit-for-purpose bioanalytical strategies and methods to quantify drug levels in circulation and assess unwanted immunogenicity. We are experts in the design, development, validation, execution, and interpretation of bioanalytical methods, with a focus on pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), anti-drug antibodies (ADA), neutralizing antibodies (NAb), and soluble biomarkers. We perform bioanalysis for both regulated (GLP, GCP) and non-regulated (e.g., mouse studies, exploratory toxicology, and dose range finding) studies. Our work translates indispensable, high-quality bioanalytical data into conclusive insights that power decisions across all stages of Genmab’s drug development pipeline.

As a Senior Research Associate in the Bioanalytical Science team, you will play a pivotal role in accelerating the development of Genmab’s innovative therapeutic formats and compounds. Working closely with the Scientific Lead, you will develop, qualify, and execute immunoassays and LC-MS/MS assays, and take full responsibility for the associated experimental lab work. You will generate, process, and report data with a high level of quality and scientific integrity. In doing so, you will help inform on safety and efficacy during product development and support the registration of new therapeutic products. This role operates in a GLP/GCP-regulated environment, where you will follow relevant guidelines and standard operating procedures to ensure the reliability and compliance of all data generated.
