Jobs at TRIANA Biomedicines

We are seeking an experienced immunologist with deep in vitro and in vivo pharmacology expertise to join our Biology and Translational Sciences group. This role is central to advancing discovery programs from hit validation on by establishing clear mechanistic and translational links between target degradation and disease-relevant immunological outcomes in autoimmune and inflammatory disease.

We are looking for a scientifically rigorous, highly accountable individual who thrives in a fast-paced biotech environment and is motivated by generating decisive data that drives program progression.

• Assay Development: Design, develop and implement robust disease relevant cell-based assays to assess target engagement, protein degradation, and downstream pathway modulation.
• Mechanistic Biology: Design and execute experiments that connect target degradation to phenotypic response in primary human immune cells and in validated in vivo models of autoimmune disease.
• In Vivo Pharmacology: Design, manage and interpret in vivo studies conducted with external partners in rodent models of autoimmune and inflammatory disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), including PK/PD and efficacy studies, and translate target degradation and pharmacodynamic readouts into disease-relevant endpoints.
• Data Generation & Interpretation: Identify critical project questions and produce high-quality, actionable datasets that guide stage-appropriate program decisions.
• Collaboration and Communication: Distill complex biological data into clear insights and communicate findings effectively to cross-functional partners and leadership; maintain thorough and accurate experimental documentation.

• Demonstrated track record advancing discovery-stage immunology and inflammation programs to in vivo proof of concept in a biotech or pharmaceutical environment.
• Extensive hands-on expertise in molecular and cellular biology, including cell culture, gene knockout and knockdown approaches (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9, RNAi), transfection and lentiviral systems, cell signaling and pathway analysis, immunoprecipitation/immunoblotting, qRT-PCR, and proliferation or viability assays.
• In-depth experience with rodent models of autoimmune and inflammatory disease (e.g., collagen- or adjuvant-induced arthritis, humanized or adoptive transfer models), spanning study design, dosing regimens, and interpretation of disease and pharmacodynamic readouts, including ex vivo immunophenotyping; comfortable overseeing CRO-run studies and interpreting clinical scoring and histopathology data.
• Solid immunology expertise across innate and adaptive immunity, with hands-on flow cytometry, primary immune cell isolation and culture, cytokine profiling, and immune functional assays.
• Clear, effective communicator who collaborates across scientific disciplines and presents rigorous analyses that support informed program decisions.
• Familiarity with targeted protein degradation or molecular glue mechanisms preferred; experience supporting IND-enabling studies in autoimmunity is a plus.

Education & Experience:

• Ph.D. in Immunology, Immunobiology, or a related discipline with 6+ years of post-graduate experience (industry experience preferred) or B.S./M.S. with 12+ years of industry experience.
