Serna Bio is building the world’s first map of the druggable transcriptome, systematically opening up the universe of RNA biology to small molecule drug discovery. Using our Discovery Platform, we are tackling the classically intractable targets ranging from coding and non-coding RNA.

The Team You’ll Join

We are looking for a talented and accomplished Senior Scientist to accelerate our program development efforts. You will be a key member of our new US Programs Biology team, reporting to our Director of Biology and tasked with advancing our programs through early drug discovery.

The Impact You’ll Make

In this role, you will lead the expansion and advancement of our therapeutic pipeline by bringing your experiment design and CRO management skills to target selection, drug discovery/development, and early clinical work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the development and execution of hit-to-lead and lead optimisation of core drug discovery programs
• Work closely with the platform team to ensure the programs are being supported by, and feeding into, the Serna Bio ChemAI Platform
• Design the strategy, data, and statistical design process for assays for hit to lead and lead ops, leaning on previous experience leading drug discovery program progression.
