Project 8p is a new disease-specific patient-centric foundation launched to help individuals and families affected by chromosome 8p conditions. The mission of Project 8p is to discover treatments with an active translational research program and intelligent roadmap to empower well-being of a unified community today. Project 8p is the first and only organization focused on this rare disorder with a growing community of more than 350 families.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with experience in academic research or private sector in biotech, life sciences, or pharma to help accelerate basic science research with novel translational ways for therapeutic development (drug repurposing, gene therapies). This individual will have the unique opportunity to lead the scientific strategies with substantial autonomy but also collaborate with the Foundation’s leadership to plan and implement projects, highlight current progress and innovation in the scientific and clinical landscape relevant to the Foundation, and communicate with the Project 8p stakeholders.
While we are a new organization looking to grow rapidly, we strongly encourage all candidates to apply that may fit some criteria, if not all.
