Associate Scientist, Translational Sciences-Immunology

Johnson and Johnson is recruiting for an Associate Scientist, Translational Sciences (TS),Immunology Translational Sciences and Medicine (TSM) to be located in Spring House, PA. Remote work options may be considered on a case-by-case basis and if approved by the Company.

At Johnson & Johnson, what matters most is helping people live full and healthy lives. We focus on treating, curing and preventing some of the most devastating and complex diseases of our time. And we pursue the most promising science, wherever it might be found.

As Immunology Leaders, we know immunology is vital to human health. Driven by a relentless focus on patient unmet needs, we will redefine treatments for immune diseases by delivering transformational and accessible therapies and regimens to patients with immune-mediated disease. For more than two decades we have been a world leader in the development of transformational medicines, establishing one of the strongest, first-in-class portfolios and pipelines in the industry, including the first tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, and first interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 inhibitors. We tirelessly push the boundaries of science and creativity, applying our deep disease insights, novel pathway science, new technologies, and

treatment modalities to restore immune homeostasis.

Johnson & Johnson discovers and develops innovative medical solutions to address important unmet medical needs in the following therapeutic areas: immunology, oncology, neuroscience, infectious diseases & vaccines, cardiovascular & metabolism, and pulmonary hypertension.

We are Johnson & Johnson. Our mission drives us. Our patients inspire us. We collaborate with the world for the health of everyone in it. We are guided by our Credo.

Thriving on a diverse company culture, celebrating the uniqueness of our employees and

committed to inclusion. Proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

Translational Sciences and Medicine (TSM) is an integrated group of scientists composed of a clinical Translational Medicine (TM) team which conducts early clinical development and experimental medicine studies, and a Translational Sciences (TS) team which uses human based data and tissues to support the end to end portfolio. Together, the TSM group will provide the key learnings/insights on the next wave of novel therapies for these patients. Organizationally, TSM serves as a pivotal bridge between Discovery Research and the later phase Clinical Development

group. TSM provides the necessary scientific and clinical expertise to advance an industry-leading pipeline of novel mechanism small molecules and biologic agents to address unmet need in immune-mediated diseases.

TS has a broad remit stretching from support of discovery with human data to support target selection, through development of novel decision- making biomarkers for early phase clinical trials, target-centric indication sequencing and prioritization, and biomarker support of regulatory filings. It has expertise in biomarker development, disease biology research and in the application of immunology and data science technologies to support drug discovery and development.

This role includes the following key responsibilities:

• Support the implementation and execution of the clinical biomarker strategy for clinical programs in early and late-stage Immunology

• Evaluate new vendors, capabilities, and technologies to align with organizational objectives and contribute to initiatives for enhancing vendor service levels through standardization and continuous improvement

• Manages relationships with specialty testing vendors to ensure biomarker samples are, processed, tested and data is reported to meet development timelines

• Work effectively with procurement and scientific leads to execute contracts and statement of work to meet program deliverables

• Works closely with data management to establish data collection and transfer specifications with testing vendors and local labs

• Identify, track, troubleshoot, and solve operational biomarker issues in partnership vendors and/or clinical teams

• Ensure internal and external compliance

• Works with scientific stakeholders to identify innovative bio sample collection and processing techniques and ensures methods are implemented appropriately across clinical sites to the highest of standards

• Develops presentations and presents sample tracking/testing metrics at regular team meetings

• May work with scientific stakeholders to evaluate and implement new assays and relevant technologies as required by the program

• Manages relationships with internal and external partners to ensure on time and quality deliverables

• Participates in cross-functions study team meetings across clinical, translational research and diagnostics.
