About the job This position located within the Translational Medicine Unit (TMU)/Clinical and Patient Sciences (CPS) / Early Clinical and Experimental Therapeutics (ECET) is responsible for ECET contributions within the Immunology & Inflammation, Neurology and/or Ophtalmology space at Sanofi and with a scope that includes small molecule, monoclonal antibody, peptide, gene therapy including nucleic acid modalities.

A key focus of this role is the path from the research phase through early clinical development including early and rapid Proof-of-Mechanism/Proof-of-Concept, as well as natural history studies and experimental model validation to contribute building the Human Target Validation (HTV) and to evaluate the pharmacology of novel therapeutic approaches.

Additionally, to identify potential signals of efficacy or safety notably for new indications and gain better understanding on the mode of action, signal seeking clinical and mechanistic trials are in the scope of expertise for this role.

Collaborative interactions with research scientists, toxicologists, pharmacokineticists, modelling & simulation experts, biomarker experts, and late phase therapeutic area clinicians are critical to success in the role.

The ability to integrate the outputs of multiple disciplines into a coherent translational medicine and human target validation plan is essential. Are you ready to shape the future of medicine? The race is on to speed up drug discovery and development to find answers for patients and their families.

Join our state-of-the-art ECET department as a Clinical Lead, ECET and you'll drive the translation between preclinical development through early clinical development and beyond, while enjoying lots of opportunities to broaden your experience and hone your skills.

In these roles, duties include: Participate in designing the early development plan and overall ECET plan for the different steps of clinical development, integrating into to the overall development strategy in collaboration with the responsible Therapeutic Area in research and development.

Design safe, rapid and informative First-In-Human studies including First In Patients, natural history, experimental model validation, mechanistic and signal seeking, streamlined Proof-of-Mechanism as well as Proof-of-Concept studies providing robust data for early Go/No Go decisions and other pharmacokinetic studies.

Supervise the execution and ensure close medical monitoring. Review, interpret results, and author ECET-related clinical documentation, including informed consent forms, clinical protocols, study reports; some abstracts and/or manuscripts; clinical pharmacology or ECET components of investigator brochures, regulatory documents.
