In this role you will work with scientists in a state-of-the-art histology and immunohistochemistry laboratory to support a variety of discovery, pre-clinical and clinical programs.

Responsibilities

The anatomic pathologist in this role will impact Genmab’s pipeline from early research to clinical trial stages, providing expertise in histopathological evaluation, tissue-based assay development (IHC, ISH, IF), biomarker strategy and toxicologic pathology for a variety of antibody therapeutics.  Scientific curiosity, strategic thinking, and the capacity to work well in cross-functional teams are important traits of the successful candidate.

You will contribute your pathology expertise by both traditional slide evaluation, and by guiding the development and interpretation of advanced tissue-based assays, such as multiplex immunofluorescence panels, digital image analysis, and machine learning image projects.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

• Help laboratory personnel in our US and European locations to design and develop immunohistochemistry assays for single-plex chromogenic and fluorescence, in situ hybridization (ISH) assays, multiplex IF and ISH-IF combinations (10% lab work IHC/IF assay development).

• Support our digital pathology team and work closely with Data Sciences to develop and verify digital image analysis algorithms and results from image analysis projects.

• Evaluate, qualitatively and quantitatively (H-Scores, % staining, etc) a variety of immunohistochemical stains for target screening and biomarker assessment.

• Serve as in-house expert representing Genmab in interactions with CROs developing IHC and ISH assays to support our pre-clinical and clinical biomarker programs.

• Perform, as needed, primary reads and/or peer review of pre-clinical toxicology studies, including tissue cross reactivity studies, investigative and GLP studies.

• Provide internal expertise to understand the mechanisms of toxicity observed non-clinically or clinically in order to help design mitigation strategies and minimize risk to patients.
