Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (SZBL) is a recently created life-science research organization by the Shenzhen municipal government and PKU Shenzhen. SZBL thrives to build an academic powerhouse for life sciences and biomedical engineering in southern China by creating advanced cross-discipline institutes that address major challenges in life sciences and to drive leading-edge discoveries in frontier and applied areas of bio-medicine. Through its 12 subordinate research institutes SZBL enables basic & translational research, technology development and clinical trials to accelerate the creation of biomedical industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.
BayRay Innovation Center is spearheading translational efforts at SZBL to bridge the gap between cutting edge scientific discoveries from academia and commercialization. BayRay develops innovative technologies and breakthrough therapeutics for diseases with great unmet medical need. Centered around its core strength in synthetic and medicinal chemistry, BayRay is co-investing into various enabling platforms and has embarked on several active drug discovery programs, either alone or in partnership with pharma companies.
BayRay is establishing a discovery biology function to support on-going technology development and early drug discovery programs as well as to initiate new R&D programs. We look for highly talented and motivated biologists with disease area expertise to fill in a number positions covering preclinical studies ranging from cell biology and assay development to in vivo pharmacology studies. Successful candidates will work closely with other functions in BayRay and external partners to build core internal capabilities as well as access external services (e.g. CROs).
Director, Discovery Biology:
• Responsibilities:
o Report to the CEO and server as a member of BayRay management team.
