Reporting to the Respiratory and Immunology Research Unit (RI RU) leadership, the Executive Director, Head of Translational Biology (Respiratory) will lead a line of laboratory-based biologists to define and execute human-centric translational biology strategies that increase the probability of success from discovery through clinical transition. This role is accountable for building and leading an integrated biology and translational capability rooted in human disease understanding, spanning target identification, validation, and progression across key respiratory indications, including COPD, bronchiectasis, allergy, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), interstitial lung disease (ILD), and pulmonary hypertension (PH/PAH). The successful candidate will combine deep expertise in respiratory biology with translational science leadership to ensure that therapeutic hypotheses are grounded in human-relevant biology, with early deployment of predictive model systems, biomarkers, and patien...
