We're in relentless pursuit of breakthroughs that change patients' lives. We innovate every day to make the world a healthier place.
To fully realize Pfizer's purpose – Breakthroughs that change patients' lives – we have established a clear set of expectations regarding "what" we need to achieve for patients and "how" we will go about achieving those goals.
Our Tumor Biology group develops biologic therapeutics that promote immune cell engagement with tumor cells in effort to eliminate cancer. As a member of this group, you will support these efforts and be a critical player in the group's mission by executing wet lab assays that will be used for proof-of-concept testing and lead molecule development. Your work will primarily focus on supporting biology line initiatives and will also involve collaborating with other functional lines in a matrix team environment.
