• Develop and lead IVD strategies that are aligned with disease areas including development of multiplex platforms to support investigational and approved products in collaboration with diagnostic partners.
• Enable the coordination and execution of exploratory biomarker hypothesis testing in the clinic.
• Develop relationships with external key investigators, scientists and professional organisations in the diagnostic technology field to inform internal CDx strategies including next generation technology implementation and validation.
• Represent CDx strategy to health agencies as part of the regulatory strategies for the agents within the entire portfolio.

We seek a highly motivated Scientist / Sr. Scientist to lead biomarker development efforts in support of Genentech’s Oncology pipeline. The incumbent will lead a small laboratory group focusing on predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarker development efforts, as well as lead and support biomarker subteams for programs in clinical development. All of the Scientists in OBD are encouraged to develop a focus in one of several areas that advance our understanding of specific diseases or enable advanced biomarker assessments through exploration of innovative, cutting-edge technologies.  For this particular position, a strong background in cancer cell signaling and cancer genomics, evidenced by peer reviewed publications in top tier journals, is required.  Practical experience with predictive or pharmacodynamic biomarker development in an industry setting would be an important asset.  The successful candidate is expected to effectively lead cross functional teams, to publish innovative biomarker or disease focused research in high quality scientific, technical or medical journals, present to our key investigators and at meetings and promote collaborative efforts to push biomarker sciences forward. Scientists / Sr. Scientists in OBD are expected to be, or develop into, externally recognized leaders in clinical translational sciences.

As a Scientist / Sr. Scientist, you are expected to:

• Provide exceptional scientific leadership within OBD, as well as to other functions, subteams / teams at Genentech / Roche
• Develop and effectively manage a small laboratory group, predominantly focused on scientific support for molecule programs
• Drive scientific and technical innovation collaboratively with other members of the Department
• Lead one or more biomarker subteams
• Develop and execute on lead and exploratory biomarker strategies for one or more projects
• Participate in, or lead, disease focused translational biomarker programs, or develop a key focus on novel technologies that advance clinical biomarker assessment
• Publish in high quality scientific, technical or medical journals
• Represent OBD externally through presentations at key National / International meetings, interactions with our key investigators
• Participate and thrive in an interactive, team oriented culture
