The CVRM (Cardiovascular, Renal, and Metabolism) Research Biology group within Genentech Research and Early Development (gRED) is seeking a highly talented, motivated, and creative Scientist 3 to investigate novel pathways, targets, and therapeutic development in metabolic disease.
The Scientist 3 contributes to the early-stage cardiometabolic pipeline across multiple therapeutic modalities and disease areas, including obesity, cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic conditions. In this lab-based role, you will work independently and collaboratively to validate new targets and pathways, leveraging in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo skills. Reporting to a Senior Principal Scientist, you will engage in target discovery and mechanism-of-action studies while collaborating with cross-functional teams of scientists and clinicians to advance therapeutic development. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing CVRM biology group and make significant contributions to the early stage cardiometabolic pipeline, across multiple tissues and disease areas.
Key responsibilities:
Independent design, execution and interpretation of experiments; including brainstorming of next steps and troubleshooting
Willingness to mentor/cross-train colleagues
Ability to present research at intra- and inter-departmental meetings
