VP of Translational Research at Priora in London

About the role
We are looking for an experienced translational R&D leader with a background in cell therapy to shape the scientific strategy across our research programme and guide the platform from discovery towards therapeutic development.

This is a senior scientific leadership role with broad responsibility for translating emerging biology into a development programme. You will define the evidence required to advance the platform, establish clear development priorities and decision points, and ensure that experimental programmes are designed with downstream clinical, regulatory and commercial requirements in mind.

We are seeking someone with substantial experience advancing novel therapeutic programmes through preclinical development. You will bring expertise across areas including assay and translational strategy, biodistribution and PK/PD, safety and toxicology, and regulatory development, together with the judgement to identify critical programme risks and make timely, evidence-based go/no-go decisions.

You will have significant influence over the scientific direction of the company and will play a central role in ensuring that the evidence we generate is robust, decision-relevant and capable of withstanding scrutiny from regulators, investors and potential development partners. You will shape and lead the scientific team, and have ownership over key processes and lab workflows.
