ApconiX Is Recruiting an Immunotoxicologist (Senior Scientist)

Immune safety issues are one of the major reasons drugs fail and have been the cause of some of the most infamous drug failures. The prediction, mitigation and management of immunotoxicological issues is therefore an important challenge in modern pharmaceutical product development.

Ultimately, the development and application of immunological expertise is needed to deliver better outcomes for patients.
