(Associate) Group Leader Drug Development

1 maand geleden


Utrecht Oost, Nederland Prinses Máxima Centrum Voltijd

Improvements in outcome for children with cancer that both increase survival and reduce late effects of treatment may be realized by the introduction of novel (targeted) drugs or ATMPs with different modes of action than the existing therapy modalities, such as chemotherapy. In order to further strengthen our capacity for clinical innovation and to expand our early clinical trial portfolio, the Máxima is searching for 3 clinical group leaders for drug development in Hematology-oncology, Solid Tumors and Neuro-oncology.

Through partnerships across Europe and beyond, the Máxima Center is able to study a wide range of innovative therapies, mostly in the role of ‘sponsor’ (the legally responsible party). Our collaborations with organizations such as ITCC, SIOPe, COG, Pedal, NANT, and PNOC distinguish us as a leading sponsor of international pediatric oncology clinical trials within Europe. We have also successfully initiated several trans-Atlantic studies and recently expanded into Japan. We enroll over 50 children annually in early-phase clinical trials. With the support of our International Office and the soon-to-open Cellular Therapy Facility (CTF), we expect to further increase this number. Next to that in collaboration with the preclinical research institute, our aim is to manufacture targeted cellular therapy products; translating research discoveries into innovative clinical trials.

To stress the importance of drug and ATMP development we have created positions for group leaders who are committed to further advancing the field, and to further develop Maxima’s center capacity to run such studies, both from the site as well as the international sponsor perspective.

The positions will be embedded in the Trial and Data Center, led by Prof. Dr. Michel Zwaan and Dr. Harm van Tinteren, as well as within the clinical departments at the Máxima Center. Specifically, with the Hematology-Oncology department, led by Prof. Dr. Josef Vormoor, the Solid Tumors department, led by Prof. Dr. Max van Noesel, and the Neuro-Oncology department, led by Prof. Dr. Eelco Hoving. Prof. Dr. Michel Zwaan will be responsible for the functional transfer of knowledge related to the group leadership in drug development, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of expertise, and Prof. Dr. Leendert Looijenga will oversee the academic career development.
