About the Role

Our Team:

Sanofi's Translational Medicine Unit (TMU) Germany team is part of Sanofi's global network, among other things specializing in bioanalytical method development and immunogenicity testing. We want to rapidly implement innovative analytical solutions with external partners. Our mission is to advance patient-centric approaches in clinical testing — making sample collection more convenient for patients while maintaining the highest scientific standards. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research that directly impacts how clinical trials are conducted worldwide.

Main Responsibilities:

• Establish and optimize anti-drug antibody (ADA) assay methods in the laboratory, including method transfer and setup of analytical procedures
• Research, evaluate, and select dried blood spot (DBS) collection devices for immunogenicity testing applications, considering both scientific and sustainability criteria
• Design and execute feasibility experiments comparing traditional liquid samples to DBS-derived samples, including sensitivity assessments and method comparison studies
• Develop comprehensive validation plans for new sample collection methods in accordance with regulatory guidelines and industry best practices
• Prepare detailed scientific reports and present findings to internal stakeholders and external partners for decision-making processes
• Collaborate closely with TMU to facilitate rapid implementation of validated methods with external laboratory partners
• Support technology transfer activities to enable broader adoption of patient-centric sampling approaches across multiple testing sites

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with ability to present complex scientific data to diverse audiences
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables within a defined project framework
• Openness to innovation and patient-centric approaches

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in immunoassay techniques (ELISA, ECL, or similar platforms)
• Experience with dried blood spot (DBS) technology is a plus, but not required
• Familiarity with method validation principles and SOPs, experiences in regulated bioanalysis are a plus
• Ability to document, analyze, and present scientific data clearly

Languages

• English: fluent (essential for international collaboration and external partner communication)
• German: beneficial for local operations
