Principal Scientist/Associate Director, Preclinical Pharmacology

Principal Scientist/ Associate Director, Preclinical Pharmacology 

Triveni Bio is breaking new ground on the identification of novel disease targets – working at the convergence of human genetics, best-in-class antibody design, and precision medicine.  We are pioneering a Mendelian genetics-informed precision medicine approach to develop functional antibodies for the treatment of immunological and inflammatory (I&I) disorders. Our lead antibody program (TRIV-509) targets kallikreins 5 and 7 (KLK5/7) and directly impacts skin barrier function, inflammation, and itch – providing a meaningful and much needed potential treatment option for patients with atopic dermatitis and other barrier disorders.
