Imaging Science Lead Sr. Principal Scientist

Oncology Imaging Scientific Lead

Clinical Imaging

Build our future together:

The successful candidate will lead the strategy and execution of complex early and late phase oncology imaging in clinical trials where imaging plays a critical role. Imaging includes all modalities with a special focus on PET and CT. In this role, you will lead the development of imaging biomarkers, support the scientific imaging aspects and tumor response assessment of oncology clinical studies. You will be a member of cross-functional program teams including Regeneron clinical and preclinical colleagues as well as external academic and industry partners.

This position offers excellent opportunities to develop innovative imaging biomarkers in support of clinical development and to bring treatment options to patients.

When & where:

Locations: Willing to work from one of the following sites:

• Tarrytown, NY
• Warren, NJ
• Cambridge, MA
• Boston, MA

  Discover your role:

  • Work closely with imaging, therapeutic area and development leads to formulate appropriate imaging biomarker strategies to inform and advance the Regeneron clinical pipeline.
  • Lead, design and implement multimodality imaging measures as endpoints for oncology therapeutic clinical studies.
  • Collaborate closely with Regeneron clinical teams as imaging subject matter expert to ensure optimal design and execution of imaging strategy including development of protocols, imaging manuals, imaging charters and statistical analysis plan.
  • Work closely with Clinical Imaging Operations and imaging CROs to ensure the flawless conduct and data integrity of study's imaging components and endpoints.
  • Serve as Imaging Scientific Lead in clinical trials focused on qualification and utilization of novel imaging biomarkers.
  • Lead the interaction with regulatory agencies and site ethic committees for approval of clinical imaging biomarker development studies.
  • Design and implement novel PET, immuno-PET and other novel imaging agents/biomarkers in clinical trials.
  • Oversee image analysis and interpretation of results, work closely with colleagues to oversee the development of study reports and publications as appropriate.
  • Design and implement innovative imaging translational strategies in collaboration with preclinical/clinical research teams and external partners.

    This role requires:

    • Experience in the implementation of central efficacy assessment using tumor response criteria such as RECIST 1.1, PCWG3, Lugano and IMWG in oncology clinical trials.
    • Leadership experience in the application of imaging as a quantitative endpoint in clinical and preclinical studies with an oncology focus.
    • A Doctorate degree in a relevant field, with 5+ years of industry and academic clinical oncology imaging experience.
    • Proven excellent written/verbal communication and organization skills.
    • Ability to champion imaging innovations and lead projects effectively.
    • Preferred: Minimum 5+ years of imaging experience in oncology drug development and clinical PET tracer development in a pharmaceutical/biotechnology setting. Level commensurate with years of experience.
    • Preferred: Experience in the application of imaging as a quantitative endpoint in clinical and preclinical studies.
    • Preferred: Experience with regulatory agencies and inspections.
    • Preferred: Direct experience with preclinical oncology imaging models using PET and immuno-PET imaging biomarkers.
    • Preferred: Strong background in oncology, biology, molecular imaging and familiar with precision medicine approaches.
    • Preferred: Imaging CRO oversight and implementation of quality control procedures.
