Site Name: USA - Pennsylvania - Philadelphia Posted Date: Oct 22 2021 Who We Are: The Oncology, Immunology, and Early Phase Safety Evaluation and Risk Management (SERM) Group Global Clinical Safety & Pharmacovigilance (GCSP) is responsible for the collection, processing and regulatory reporting of adverse events experienced by patients receiving GSK products and for the ongoing safety evaluation and risk management of all GSK products (marketed or developmental). We are seeking talented and intellectually curious individuals who wish to join us and contribute to the development and support of novel therapies in the therapeutic areas of Oncology and Immunology. There are also opportunities to work exclusively with treatments that are in the early phases of development. GSK is not developing a pipeline of “me too” drugs, rather they are seeking to be leaders in Oncology in the areas of immuno-oncology, synthetic lethality, epigenetics, and cellular & gene therapy. Additionally, GSK is leveraging its expertise in Immunology to bring forward therapies to treat COVID-19. Our portfolio ranges from first-in-human compounds to marketed drugs, so there is the opportunity to learn and contribute across life cycle management. These are exciting positions because of the patients who motivate and the science which amazes us!
