ApconiX Is Recruiting an Immunotoxicologist (Senior Scientist)
ApconiX are experts in target and modality safety science, cardiac and CNS and electrophysiology, and all aspects of nonclinical toxicology and DMPK project support.
The Challenge:
Immune safety issues are one of the major reasons drugs fail and have been the cause of some of the most infamous drug failures. The prediction, mitigation and management of immunotoxicological issues is therefore an important challenge in modern pharmaceutical product development. Understanding intended and unintended immunological effects of drugs lays is therefore important to enable the design of fit for purpose preclinical programs, and to inform decision-making during drug development. Ultimately, the development and application of immunological expertise is needed to deliver better outcomes for patients.
The Role:
This role will sit within Safety Science Group and is ideal for a candidate with a pharmacology/toxicology/immunology background and a specific interest within immunotoxicology. The role will be primarily located in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, UK but allows for remote/flexible working. We are flexible on start dates for the role.
