which require Project Leaders to manage activities spanning gene
discovery to drug discovery. Three representative opportunities are
summarized as follows:
You will lead teams contributing to the development of novel
therapeutics in dermatology or oncology with particular emphasis on
vitamin D and vitamin A metabolic pathways. In addition, you will
provide strategies for pre-clinical testing of proprietary drugs using
in vitro assays. You will be responsible for the development of
functional assays and testing of drugs with emphasis on efficacy,
toxicity and drug metabolism.
You will lead teams validating new targets for therapeutic
intervention. This may generate new drug discovery programs for
various disease processes.
You will lead efforts to clone, express and characterize novel
molecular targets.
Candidates for these positions may be appointed as Scientists, Senior

retinoic acid or retinoids
vitamin D or calcitriol
arachidonic acid metabolism
ADME
drug discovery in oncology or dermatology
cell biology (especially cell differentiation, proliferation or
apoptosis)
Salary is negotiable. They pay full relocation costs and may provide
an allowance for travel and accommodations during the transition. The
positions are located in either Kingston, Ontario and Toronto,
Ontario, Canada.
The company is rapidly growing biotechnology company involved in the
