insitro is using machine learning to yield entirely new, clinically actionable insights into critical unmet needs for patients. We aim to "go fast and improve things" across the entire drug development process from platform to pipeline to patients and back again.
The VP Regulatory is a unique opportunity to directly improve patients' lives by leading global regulatory strategy across four areas, each informed by machine learning: neurology/neurodegeneration, metabolism, oncology, and innovative companion diagnostics. We are devoted to the effort to make clinical trials more helpful for patients and for drug developers. We believe that by focusing on what's best for patients, we can do what's best for drug development at the same time.
You will develop and implement global regulatory strategies to support the development of multiple therapeutics and diagnostics. The number of drug developers applying machine learning to diagnostic and drug development is increasing, and the regulatory science is catching up in real time. Therefore, you will be at the forefront of implementing and influencing new regulatory policies using objective, data-driven approaches. We view regulatory authorities as partners who want to do what's best for patients just as we do and who are open to new approaches based on data. After all, patients are fighting debilitating, life-threatening conditions right now. We have to do better.
You will report directly to the Chief Medical Officer. This role can be either onsite (3 days per week) in our South San Francisco office or hybrid (~1 week per month) in our office. Additional travel may be needed to relevant medical and regulatory science conferences and health authorities.
Responsibilities
- Build and lead the entire regulatory function across neurology/neurodegeneration, metabolic disease, oncology, and diagnostics. This will include diverse therapeutic modalities (e.g., small molecules, biologics, oligonucleotides) and novel laboratory and digital biomarkers, developed internally and in-licensed; all development stages (focus is IND/CTA through clinical proof-of-concept); diverse regulatory pathways; and regulatory elements of key drug development functions (e.g, clinical, chemistry, biologics, and device manufacturing controls, nonclinical).
- Design and oversee innovative regulatory strategies to enable objective, data-driven go-no-go decisions efficiently and shorten the development cycle in the face of an evolving regulatory landscape.
- Serve as global regulatory lead for the initial clinical-stage asset(s); over time, build and manage a focused, effective team of global regulatory leads to match our growing pipeline.
- Be accountable for end-to-end global regulatory strategy, good clinical practice, and adherence to regulatory standards. This includes identification and mitigation of regulatory risks, creation, review, assembly, and submission of regulatory documents at all stages of development, and oversight of engagements with global health authorities and ethics committees.
- Influence emerging regulatory policy for artificial intelligence and machine learning through original publications, presentations, and stakeholder engagement.
- Interpret regulatory requirements for project and executive teams, board of directors, and scientific advisory board.
About You
- Advanced degree in life sciences, technology, chemistry or related discipline, with specialized (e.g., M.S.) degree in regulatory science, or equivalent practical experience..
- 10+ years of experience in regulatory affairs in biotechnology and/or pharmaceutical industries, directly as regulatory lead and in a leadership role to deliver therapeutic(s) and diagnostic biomarker(s) in our key therapeutic areas (metabolic disease, neurology/neurodegeneration, oncology) to the clinic from FIH through proof-of-concept to NDA/BLA submission. Exposure to regulatory approvals involving computationally-enabled tools or biomarkers, with exposure to AI methods, is very nice to have.
- Key competencies: demonstrated understanding of regulations and guidelines governing drug, diagnostic, and device development, good clinical practice, clinical trial design and execution, the patient journey, clinical pharmacology, biostatistics, clinical operations, application of computation to drug development.
- Capable of communicating and collaborating with people of diverse backgrounds and job functions, with a demonstrated a track record of collaborating with diverse stakeholders, including other clinical, translational, computational, and life scientists.
- Strong interpersonal skills that motivate others to excel and achieve their very best.
