Development Sciences sits 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. Development Sciences’ 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.
The Development Sciences Drug Development Training Program (DDTP) is for recent doctoral graduates who are looking to gain hands-on training and mentoring in multiple areas of clinical and pre-clinical drug development. DDTP participants will get the chance to spend three years gaining invaluable, on-the-job experience in one of the functions of the DevSci organization in South San Francisco, California.
The DDTP is a three-year position. The ultimate goal is to prepare participants with the skills and
experience they need to secure a scientist-level position here, or at another top-tier biomedical research organization. During their time in the program, DDTP trainees will be considered fulltime employees and eligible for benefits.
