What is a bio?

Bio jobs refer to positions within the biological sciences field, encompassing roles such as biologists, laboratory technicians, research scientists, and bioinformatics specialists. These professionals study living organisms and their interactions with the environment, often working in research, healthcare, environmental conservation, or biotechnology companies. Bio jobs typically require a background in biology, life sciences, or a related discipline, and may involve conducting experiments, analyzing data, or developing new biological products or processes.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a bio?

To thrive as a Biologist, you need a strong foundation in biological sciences, research methodology, and data analysis, typically supported by a degree in biology or a related field. Familiarity with laboratory equipment, statistical software (such as R or SPSS), and sometimes certifications in laboratory safety are commonly required. Critical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills that help in designing experiments and sharing results. These skills and qualifications are crucial for conducting reliable research, ensuring lab safety, and contributing to scientific advancements.

What are common challenges faced by professionals working in bioinformatics roles, and how can these be addressed?

Professionals in bioinformatics often encounter challenges such as managing and analyzing large, complex datasets, staying current with rapidly evolving technologies, and ensuring clear communication with both scientific and technical colleagues. Addressing these challenges typically involves continuous learning, leveraging high-performance computing resources, and developing strong interdisciplinary collaboration skills. Many teams operate in a collaborative, project-based environment, so effective teamwork and adaptability are essential for success and career growth.

Job description

About Formation Bio
Formation Bio is a tech and AI driven pharma company differentiated by radically more efficient drug development.
Advancements in AI and drug discovery are creating more candidate drugs than the industry can progress because of the high cost and time of clinical trials. Recognizing that this development bottleneck may ultimately limit the number of new medicines that can reach patients, Formation Bio, founded in 2016 as TrialSpark Inc., has built technology platforms, processes, and capabilities to accelerate all aspects of drug development and clinical trials. Formation Bio partners, acquires, or in-licenses drugs from pharma companies, research organizations, and biotechs to develop programs past clinical proof of concept and beyond, ultimately helping to bring new medicines to patients. The company is backed by investors across pharma and tech, including a16z, Sequoia, Sanofi, Thrive Capital, John Doerr, Spark Capital, SV Angel Growth, and others.

About the Position
The Associate Director, Bioanalytical will lead bioanalytical strategy and delivery for assigned programs, working across nonclinical and clinical teams to ensure assays are fit for purpose and support key development decisions. The role will oversee external bioanalytical partners and drive execution for PK/TK, metabolites as applicable, biologics bioanalysis, and immunogenicity, including assay approach selection, validation strategy, sample analysis oversight, data review, and submission-ready documentation. In partnership with Clinical Pharmacology, DMPK/Nonclinical, Clinical Operations, Regulatory, and data teams, this role will help scale Formation Bio's Trial Engine by standardizing bioanalytical workflows, improving traceability, and enabling consistent, analysis-ready bioanalytical outputs across programs.
Responsibilities
  • Lead bioanalytical strategy and delivery for assigned programs across small molecules and biologics, aligned to clinical questions and decision points
  • Define assay plans and validation approaches (fit-for-purpose through full validation) for PK/TK, metabolites as applicable, biologics bioanalysis, and immunogenicity
  • Manage bioanalytical CROs and specialty labs for assigned workstreams: contribute to partner selection, define scopes, set timelines, and monitor performance, quality, and budget
  • Oversee end-to-end bioanalytical execution: protocols, validation reports, sample analysis, data review, and final reports to support program decisions and filings
  • Own day-to-day BA operating processes for assigned programs: assay lifecycle tracking, method transfer planning, issue triage, deviation management, and CAPA follow-up with vendors
  • Ensure data quality and audit readiness for assigned deliverables through strong documentation practices, traceability, and alignment to regulatory guidance and internal standards
  • Partner with Clinical Pharmacology and Clinical Development on study design inputs, sampling strategies, analyte panels, and interpretation of exposure and immunogenicity implications
  • Coordinate with Clinical Operations on sample logistics (kits, handling, stability, chain of custody, reconciliation) and resolution of operational issues impacting bioanalysis
  • Collaborate with Regulatory Affairs by drafting/reviewing submission components and providing technical input to support IND/CTA and NDA/BLA/MAA activities
  • Align with DMPK/Nonclinical on bioanalytical approaches across studies and support translational PK needs
  • Work with Biostatistics/Data Science to enable clean data transfers, consistent formats/metadata, and analysis-ready datasets
  • Support diligence and asset evaluation by reviewing bioanalytical packages, identifying gaps/risks, and proposing pragmatic remediation plans
  • Contribute to Trial Engine scaling by helping standardize templates, workflows, and reporting conventions that improve speed and consistency across programs

About You
  • PhD in a relevant field with 7+ years of bioanalytical experience in biopharma, including clinical-stage support, or a relevant undergraduate degree with 10+ years of experience
  • Lead bioanalytical strategy and execution for assigned preclinical and clinical programs across small molecules and biologics
  • Deep LC-MS/MS expertise for PK/TK, troubleshooting, and ISR
  • Familiar with biologics bioanalysis and immunogenicity (ADA/NAb) approaches and interpretation
  • Strong working knowledge of bioanalytical regulatory expectations and submission-quality documentation
  • Lead CRO/vendor execution for assigned workstreams; support partner selection and governance as needed
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment with multiple concurrent priorities
  • Clear communicator who can translate technical detail into program-relevant recommendations
  • Preferred: Experience functioning as part of a clinical study team to integrate tradeoffs between vendor selection, development speed, assay quality and performance, and applicability of method to deliver value to program overall
  • Preferred: Familiarity with GCP/GCLP expectations and audit/inspection readiness for clinical bioanalysis
  • Preferred: Experience shaping sample logistics (kits, stability, chain of custody) and data flow into filings
