The Department

The Bioanalytical Science department is responsible for developing fit-for-purpose bioanalytical strategies and methods to quantify drug in circulation and assess unwanted immunogenicity. We are experts in the design, development, validation, execution and interpretation of bioanalytical methods, with a focus on pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), anti-drug antibodies (ADA), neutralizing antibodies (NAb) and soluble markers. We perform bioanalysis activities for both regulated (GLP, GCP) and non-regulated (mouse studies, exploratory tox & Dose Range Finding) studies. As such, we deliver and translate indispensable high-quality bioanalytical data into conclusive insights that power decisions across all stages of Genmab drug development.

The Role

The Bioanalytical Science team develops bioanalytical strategies to support the pre-clinical and clinical development of Genmab’s formats and compounds. We design, execute, interpret, and validate bioanalytical methods (Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic and Immunogenicity assays) and perform bioanalysis activities for both regulated (GLP, GCP) and non-regulated studies. As such, we provide a strong foundation for informed decision-making at critical points throughout Genmab’s entire drug development program.
