About Serova
Serova builds personalized cancer vaccines. Each vaccine is made for the individual patient from their own samples and given in partnership with their treating physician. Our science runs from early, curiosity-driven lab work to vaccines given to patients, and this role connects the two.
The Role
You'll sit between our early, curiosity-driven preclinical science and clinical translation, including trials. You'll take promising lab results and turn them into programs that reach patients: setting the plan, coordinating the teams, and driving go/no-go decisions on each candidate.
What You'll Do
- Run each blood-directed vaccine program from lab results to first patients
- Get wet lab, bioinformatics, manufacturing, regulatory and clinical onto one timeline, and cut turnaround per patient
- Present patient-level results and program progress, and drive go/no-go decisions on candidates
- Manage our sequencing and CLIA lab partners to shorten turnaround
- Pull together the inputs for protocols, IND submissions and publications
- Coordinate with clinical on the observational and biobank studies that feed the programs
