Translational Medicine Academy fellow in Biomarker Development (BMD) Laboratory Excellence & Operations (LEO)

Job Description Summary

Novartis is a place where bright, curious minds combine to solve the world’s toughest healthcare challenges and reimagine medicine together. It’s an inspiring environment for aspiring talent. For those embarking on a career in innovative medicines or moving into the industry it’s an opportunity to gain early exposure, experience and insights that are hard to find anywhere else.

Biomedical Research’s global Translational Medicine (TM) group builds on basic research advances to develop new therapies that address unmet medical need. We are the crucial bridge between drug discovery and clinical application. Through our work, we increase the speed, quality and productivity of drug discovery and development by Novartis and play a pivotal role in bringing innovative medicines to patients.

Biomarker solutions are critical in clinical development to: define the stage/subtype of the disease; predict the effect of medication; select a group of patients who would benefit most from a given therapy; and identify opportunities for development of companion diagnostics. Our scientists identify and use a wide range of biomarkers to investigate a disease, profile a compound’s mechanism of action, potency and likely side effects, select patients who may respond to therapy based on their genetic profile; and develop parallel/expanded indications for the compound.

The TM Academy is a cross-functional program within TM designed for career starters, career changers, and career relaunchers. If you are ready for two transformative years to gain hands-on experience in a diverse, multicultural, global and inclusive environment in early drug development and clinical trials, contributing to innovative programs and projects that help bring breakthrough treatments closer to patients worldwide, then this is the opportunity for you!
