Job Description

Our client is an exciting clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing locally delivered, extended-release products that have the potential to address therapeutic areas with high unmet medical need. The Company has developed a proprietary technology designed to facilitate targeted drug delivery of both existing and novel drugs. The technology is designed to support an extended duration of effect and delivery of drugs in a hyper-localized fashion, targeting only the tissues that physicians want to treat.

The Company believes the potential for fewer adverse events may be achieved through the precision targeting and the stable and flat delivery of the active ingredient when using this proprietary technology, versus the peaks and troughs seen with more traditional drug delivery methods. The precision of the platform has the potential to augment and transform existing FDA-approved drugs to improve their safety, tolerability, efficacy and duration of effect. The potential uses in therapeutic areas may go beyond initial targets and also to be applicable in oncology, infectious disease and other critical disease areas.

The current target application is currently in a Phase 1b/2 trial. Potential pipeline indications include candidates for other indications, each designed to improve on the activity and tolerability of currently approved drugs.
Our client is looking for people who would like to work for a fast-paced, growing company that fosters a creative spirit and integrated teamwork and who are eligible to work in Canada
