NewLimit is a biotechnology company working to radically extend human healthspan. We’re developing medicines to treat age-related diseases by reprogramming the epigenome, a new therapeutic mechanism to restore regenerative potential in aged and diseased cells. We leverage functional genomics, pooled perturbation screening, and artificial intelligence systems to unravel the biology of aging and disease using experiments of unprecedented scale.

Description

NewLimit is recruiting a VP of Clinical Development to plan and execute our first clinical trials. Our most advanced assets restore youthful hepatic metabolism and hold the potential to benefit diverse populations with liver disease and metabolic dysfunction.

Requirements

• M.D. or equivalent clinical training
• Experience planning and orchestrating first-in-human trials
• Experience with both US FDA and ex-US regulatory agencies (e.g. Australian TGA)
• Deep knowledge of Good Clinical Practices (GCP)

Nice to Have

• Experience in metabolic and liver disease therapeutic areas
• Experience leading a clinical development team across multiple therapeutic areas
• Experience developing products in emerging therapeutic modalities (gene therapy, nucleic acid therapies, cell therapy)
• Experience managing both early (Phase 1/2) and late-stage (Phase 3) clinical trials

Benefits
