T2608 - Personalised Medicine Intern (12-months assignment)

Join us at the cutting edge of oncology innovation. In this role, you will immerse yourself in the exciting and innovative field of liquid-biopsy based biomarker investigation in oncology with direct application to our internal project’s portfolio.  

Liquid biopsies represent a major advance in the molecular diagnostic space and are increasingly used in clinical trials. By replacing invasive tissue biopsies with minimally invasive blood sampling, They facilitate patient recruitment, enable earlier assessment of treatment response, and improve  identification of appropriate patient populations. In addition, they provide valuable insight into disease biology  and support the development of predictive and prognostic biomarkers. Debiopharm is now expanding the implementation of these technologies across our portfolio.  

As an intern in the Personalised Medicine team, part of the Translation Medicine Team, you will participate in fore-front clinical investigations, contribute directly to patient-centric clinical trials design and help shape the future of targeted oncology therapies. 

Working under the guidance and mentorship of an Associate Principal Scientist, your core responsibilities will be but not limited to: 

• perform advanced data analyses on liquid biopsy sequencing results and propose additional investigations 

• drive the integration of liquid biopsy approaches within the context of our portfolio, provide input into the clinical trial protocols 

• support internal advocacy for the adoption of liquid biopsy technologies within project teams and management 

• support the definition and implementation of biomarker strategies where liquid biopsy data are critical 

Your profile 
 

• PhD in Life sciences, molecular biology, genetics, or a related discipline
