Genentech offers Clinical Research Fellowships in its South San Francisco Immunology, Tissue Growth and Repair (ITGR) development program. As members of the Clinical Development group at Genentech, Fellows work closely with top institutions and physicians to deliver on Genentech’s commitment to develop novel therapeutics.  The Fellowship can last for up to one year and is geared towards third- and fourth-year Fellows with a strong interest in clinical research.

Why join Genentech’s program?

• Increasingly, quality clinical research requires fruitful collaboration between academia and industry.
• Genentech has generated large clinical databases from multiple randomized clinical trials and registries, and is a world leader in clinical research.
• Fellows seeking intensive training in clinical research, database review and publishing will benefit from access to these resources and Genentech staff skilled in clinical research.
• Teams at Genentech will benefit from publications and input from these clinical research Fellows.

By working as a Fellow in the ITGR group, you will:

• Be exposed to Phase I through Phase IV clinical studies for compounds such as Xolair® (Omalizumab), Rituxan® (Rituximab), Lucentis® (Ranibizumab) and other compounds under development;
• Be involved with pre- and post-marketing clinical programs, including the management and analysis of data from registries, which are an important means of evaluating outcomes associated with treatment patterns and evaluation of safety signals;
• Interact with key external experts and clinical investigators;
• Participate in key clinical strategy, implementation and molecule management meetings where Research and Development plans are reviewed and key “Go/No Go” decisions are made;
• Interact with scientists in Research to assist in the decision-making around therapeutic candidates coming into Clinical Development and mechanism-of-action studies leading to potential diagnostics for existing and planned clinical development;
• Work with Business Development to provide subject matter expertise to the teams involved in due diligence assessments for research acquisition purposes;
• Provide clinical expertise for operational teams; and
• Participate in and prepare abstracts and presentations for key external conferences.
