Company Background

Codiak Biosciences is leveraging recent advances in the biology of extracellular vesicles and their role in intercellular communication.  Codiak aims to become the world’s leading company in developing exosomes as a new therapeutic and diagnostic modality for the treatment of a wide array of diseases, including cancer. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that exosomes derived from normal cells can act as a potent and safe delivery system for multiple therapeutic payloads. These small vesicles, which leave cells and travel throughout the body, can mediate dramatic effects in animal models of disease.  The group has also shown that exosomes derived from cancer cells contain specific proteins on their surface that can be used to quickly detect and characterize cancer from a sample of patient’s blood. They can also be used to monitor the response to cancer treatment, and to detect relapses.

Position Description:  Head of Process Analytics

Codiak Biosciences is seeking an experienced leader of Process Analytics to establish the company’s novel exosome production platform.  Responsibilities will include building/managing the analytical and QC team, and providing scientific vision and expertise in all relevant technical areas.  In addition to bioanalytical technology, a solid background in up- and downstream processing and GMP operation is expected.  Understanding of exosome biology, isolation and characterization will be a plus.  This is a unique opportunity for a strong leader to contribute to early- and late-stage development of our novel exosome production platform.  As part of a start-up, the candidate will be uniquely exposed to the full range of company activities within and outside the company.  The candidate will also play a critical role in helping shape Codiak’s scientific and business strategy.

Qualifications

The candidate will have a PhD in biochemistry, biology, biochemical engineering or a similar discipline with 10+ years of experience.  The successful candidate will have the ability to work well with the growing Codiak team, to build a leading bioanalytics & QC organization, and to deliver results in a high pace environment.  An aptitude for creative problem solving and efficient experimental design will be essential.  Additional qualifications include proven leadership skills, strong track record in organizational development, large professional network, and excellent interpersonal skills.
