About The Company
At Nurix Therapeutics, we aim to fundamentally change the way disease is treated using degrader-based medicines. Our journey began with a vision to harness the power of the cell’s natural protein degradation machinery, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, to create a new class of therapeutics that can overcome the limitations of current treatments.
About the Role
<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Associate Director, Clinical Pharmacology </strong></p> <p>Nurix Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule therapies designed to modulate cellular protein levels as a novel treatment approach for cancer and immune disorders. Leveraging Nurix’s extensive expertise in E3 ligases together with its proprietary DNA-encoded libraries, Nurix has built DELigase, an integrated discovery platform to identify and advance novel drug candidates targeting E3 ligases, a broad class of enzymes that can modulate proteins within the cell. Nurix’s drug discovery approach is to either harness or inhibit the natural function of E3 ligases within the ubiquitin proteasome system to selectively decrease or increase cellular protein levels.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nurix’s wholly owned pipeline comprises targeted protein degraders of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, a B-cell signaling protein, and inhibitors of Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene-B, an E3 ligase that regulates T cell activation.</p> <p><strong>Position</strong></p> <p>The Associate Director in the Clinical Pharmacology group will contribute to pharmacometric efforts across early and late-stage programs.
