About POINT Biopharma:

POINT Biopharma Global Inc. is a globally focused radiopharmaceutical company building a platform for the clinical development and commercialization of radioligands that fight cancer. Recently acquired by Eli Lilly and Company, POINT aims to transform precision oncology by combining a portfolio of targeted radioligand assets, a seasoned management team, an industry-leading pipeline, in-house manufacturing capabilities, and secured supply for medical isotopes including actinium-225 and lutetium-177. POINT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company.

Position Summary:

Reporting to the Vice President, Discovery and Translational Sciences, the Principal Scientist of ADME will be responsible for the analysis of new candidate radioligands that are being developed as part of POINT’s discovery pipeline. This role will involve establishing and performing analytical methods to profile the distribution, metabolism, and clearance of experimental pharmaceuticals being tested in vivo and in vitro. The ideal candidate will have technical experience with inductively coupled plasma analyzers, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis methods, familiarity with handling and analysis of biological samples, and experience working with radioactive materials. We are searching for a motivated and enthusiastic scientist who possesses these skills and has an appreciation and understanding of in vivo pharmacology and the drug discovery process.

Roles and Responsibilities of the Position:

  • Independently plan and perform chromatography and MS-based analysis of samples to assess biodistribution of candidate therapeutics.
  • Perform metabolite profiling of biological samples (serum, tissues, urine, etc) using mass spectrometry for both non-radioactive and radioactive ligands.
  • Develop and validate methods to quantitatively determine amounts of heavy metals in animal tissue sections using ICP-MS.
  • Optimize and perform appropriate digestion methods and sample preparation for ICP-MS experiments.
  • Develop methods to quantify ligands in biological samples using radiometric LC/MS or related approaches.
  • Plan and perform research work both independently and with the guidance of senior scientists, working cross-functionally to support discovery and preclinical activities.
  • Proactively carry out routine maintenance of analytical equipment to ensure consistent and high-quality data collection.
  • Critically assess data and methods, maintain accurate records of experimental details, and generate SOPs.
  • Provide clear communication of scientific data and project status to co-workers through internal presentations and written methods.
  • Manage time effectively and establish priorities to meet timelines for key experiments across multiple projects.
  • Support evaluation of late-stage assets as necessary.
  • Maintain a safe working environment for themselves and others through full compliance with health and safety protocols and regulatory requirements governing the use of radioactive materials.
Required Qualifications:
  • Minimum M.Sc. in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology, pharmacy, or related discipline.
  • Minimum 5 years relevant postgraduate experience.
  • Demonstrated success and direct experience developing mass spectrometry based analytical methods.
  • Experience with research and analysis of radioactive materials.
  • Familiarity and experience with inductively coupled plasma ionization methods and their application to mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
  • Experience performing quantification and analysis of biochemical/biological samples.
  • Understanding of drug properties and in vivo behaviour (PK/PD, ADME, and principles of medicinal chemistry).
  • Ability to communicate scientific data effectively to an interdisciplinary team.
  • Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills.
  • Working knowledge of MS-Office, Graphpad Prism, and ChemDraw.
Additional Preferences:
  • Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology, pharmacy, or related discipline.
  • Industry experience is preferred.
  • Prior experience with in vivo pharmacology is a strong asset.
  • Knowledge or experience with radiopharmaceuticals and GLP/GMP protocols is an asset.
