What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Clinical Trial Manager position at EPM Scientific?
Senior Clinical Trial Manager
San Diego Metropolitan Area
Salary : $160,000-$180,000
A clinical-stage cell therapy company based in San Diego is expanding its clinical operations team. Focused on developing treatments for autoimmune diseases and hematological cancers, the company uses a unique approach to cell therapy, harnessing Natural Killer (NK) cells that target B cells. These NK cells are engineered as an "off-the-shelf" therapy, which means they're produced in advance rather than derived from a patient's own cells, making treatment more accessible and scalable.
The team has been a pioneer in cell therapies, with one of the first IND filings for Lupus using cell therapy. Now advancing six indications-four in clinical stages-the company is working to streamline manufacturing and distribution to improve access to novel treatments. Their CEO brings over 20 years of experience in biotech and venture capital, including leadership roles in notable life sciences companies, while the CMO has an extensive background in clinical research from leading pharmaceutical firms. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of therapies at the intersection of cell therapy and auto-immunology.
