What is bioassay development?

Bioassay development is the process of designing, optimizing, and validating biological tests (bioassays) that measure the potency, purity, or biological activity of a substance, such as a drug, vaccine, or biologic. These assays are crucial in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for quality control, regulatory approval, and research. The process involves selecting the appropriate biological system, establishing assay conditions, and ensuring reproducibility and accuracy of results.

What are some typical challenges faced during bioassay development, and how are they addressed within a team setting?

A common challenge in bioassay development is ensuring assay reproducibility and robustness across different batches and operators. Teams often address this by conducting thorough validation studies, standardizing protocols, and encouraging open communication to troubleshoot issues quickly. Collaboration between scientists, statisticians, and quality control personnel is essential to optimize assay conditions and interpret data accurately. Regular team meetings and documentation help keep everyone aligned and maintain high assay performance standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a bioassay development scientist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Bioassay Development Scientist, you need a strong background in molecular biology, biochemistry, and analytical techniques, typically supported by a degree in life sciences or a related field. Familiarity with laboratory automation, data analysis software (such as GraphPad Prism or SoftMax Pro), and regulatory guidelines like GLP/GMP is essential. Attention to detail, critical thinking, and strong collaboration skills help you design robust assays and solve complex problems effectively. These competencies are vital for generating reliable data, ensuring compliance, and advancing drug discovery or quality control processes.

Job description

Tonix Pharmaceuticals* is a fully integrated, commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on central nervous system (CNS) and immunology treatments in areas of high unmet medical need. TONMYA® (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets 2.8 mg) is the first new treatment for fibromyalgia in adults in more than 15 years. Tonix's CNS commercial infrastructure supports its marketed products, including its acute migraine products, Zembrace® Symtouch® (sumatriptan injection 3 mg) and Tosymra® (sumatriptan nasal spray 10 mg). Tonix is investigating TONMYA® in Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate its potential in major depressive disorder and acute stress disorder/acute stress reaction. Tonix is also advancing a pipeline of immunology programs, including TNX-4800, a Phase 2 ready long-acting human anti-Borrelia OspA monoclonal antibody (mAb) for the prevention of Lyme disease in the U.S., and TNX-1500, a Phase 2 ready third-generation CD40 ligand inhibitor for the prevention of kidney transplant rejection. In addition, the Company is progressing TNX-2900 (intranasal potentiated oxytocin), which is Phase 2 ready for the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare disease. To learn more, visit www.tonixpharma.com and follow the Company on LinkedIn and X.
*Tonix's product development candidates are investigational new drugs or biologics; their efficacy and safety have not been established and have not been approved for any indication.

Translational lead responsible for the strategic direction and integration of research, translational science, and nonclinical development across the Tonix portfolio. Oversee translational strategy, and GLP/non-GLP development activities to advance programs from target validation through IND, clinical development, and life-cycle management.
Key Responsibilities
  • Provide scientific leadership across drug discovery, translational research, and nonclinical development to ensure seamless progression from target identification through candidate selection and IND-enabling studies.
  • Partner with leadership to evaluate novel targets, mechanisms of action, biomarkers, and translational strategies that support portfolio prioritization and candidate selection.
  • Guide target validation, pharmacology, proof-of-concept, and candidate-enabling invitro and invivo studies for small molecules, biologics, and vaccines.
  • Develop integrated discovery-to-development strategies that leverage target's biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and translational activities to reduce development risk.
  • Lead translational science strategies that connect preclinical pharmacology, biomarkers, and mechanism of action with clinical development plans.
  • Oversee development and implementation of biomarker strategies supporting pharmacodynamic assessments, patient selection, and clinical proof-of-mechanism.
  • Collaborate with Clinical Development and Clinical Pharmacology to ensure nonclinical findings inform dose selection, clinical endpoints, and regulatory strategy.
