Scientific innovation and passion for discovering and developing life-saving medicines to provide impactful therapeutic options to patients is at the core of everything we do at Genentech and makes us leaders in our field. We believe diversity in our science; our culture and people are critical drivers of innovation. Genentech is also strongly committed to helping train the next generation of scientific leaders and to giving back to our local communities. To continue to drive innovation and remain industry leaders, we must build an environment that will draw on diversity, inclusion, and engagement at all levels. In our candidate search, we will be seeking candidates who share similar values, exhibit potential to grow their scientific careers and leadership capabilities in a diverse, collaborative and vibrant environment focusing on excellence in science and execution.

Development Sciences and Translational Medicine groups are within Genentech’s Research and Early Development (gRED) function, which combines the best of the academic and corporate worlds, allowing researchers not only to pursue important scientific questions, but also to watch an idea move from the laboratory into clinical development and ultimately to patients. Our core mission is to translate scientific hypotheses into therapeutic possibilities by enabling the discovery and development of safe and effective therapeutics at optimal doses in relevant populations.

We have developed the gRED Drug Development Training Program (DDTP) to build a talent pipeline to help us achieve these goals. The aim is to bring Early-in-Career doctoral graduates (PhD, MD/PhD, DVM or equivalent) to Genentech for hands-on training and mentorship in specific functions involved in multiple areas of pre-clinical and clinical drug development. The goal of the DDTP program is to prepare participants with the scientific skills and drug development experience required to perform as an independent scientist in a top-notch biomedical research organization.

The DDTP program will give recent top doctoral graduates the opportunity to gain specific on the job training in one of Development Sciences or Translational Medicine functions. In 2024, we are hiring 3 positions in Clinical Pharmacology (Clinical Pharmacokinetics, Trial Design, Dose-finding and Modeling and Simulation), BioAnalytical Sciences (PK and PD assay development and technology) and Translational Medicine OMNI Biomarker Development which provides translational science support to inform the clinical development of novel personalized therapeutics in disease areas of Ophthalmology, Metabolism, Neuroscience, Immunology and Infectious Diseases (OMNI) that are critical to the development of Genentech’s therapeutic projects. The program is also tailored to provide training in technical and leadership skills, and coaching with DDTP managers and mentors.

The DDTP Program:

DDTP trainees will spend their full 3 years in one of the functions of the Development Sciences or Translational Medicine organizations, located in South San Francisco, California. At the end of the three-year period, successful participants should have the experience/skills needed to be successful in a Scientist position at Genentech or at another top-notch drug development organization.

Throughout the program, participants are considered full-time employees of their assigned department and are eligible for Genentech’s employee benefits.
