Revolutionize Paediatric Cancer Treatment

Deep Science Ventures is seeking a highly skilled and entrepreneurial-minded individual to join our team as a Co-Founder in Residence, Immune-Related Therapeutics for Paediatric Cancer. As a key member of our team, you will work closely with our Founder in Residence and the DSV Pharma team to develop a novel immune-based approach to address the challenges of paediatric oncology.

About the Opportunity

Paediatric cancers have a significant impact on health, and despite advances in treatment, the number of novel paediatric-specific therapies developed in the past 45 years is limited. Children are often treated using the same drugs repurposed from adult cancer patients, which can have long-lasting adverse effects. We believe there is a significant scientific and commercial opportunity in harnessing the unique features of childhood tumours to revolutionise the way we treat paediatric cancer patients.

About the Role

As a Co-Founder in Residence, you will be responsible for developing a technology to harness the childhood immune system and re-target it against the tumour. You will work closely with our team to identify high-order constraints, develop a novel approach, and build a viable business case. You will also have the opportunity to work with industry experts and key opinion leaders to design strategies with curative therapeutic potential for paediatric oncology patients.

Requirements
  • PhD and/or MD background in immunology, vaccinology, virology, or a related field
  • Expertise in vaccinology and the stimulation of immune response
  • (Pre)clinical drug or vaccine development in immunology, infectious disease, or cancer
  • Driven by unsolved challenges, particularly in the fields of immunology, immunotherapy, and paediatrics
  • Innovative, creative, and guided by first-principles thinking
  • Clear entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to create a company aiming to develop curative immune-related solutions for paediatric cancer
  • Ability to learn quickly and work in a fast-paced environment
What We Offer
  • Access to optimised, purpose-built, proprietary tools, resources, and processes to help create high-impact ventures from scratch
  • Opportunity area-specific know-how from our network of Partners and Advisors
  • Up to £250k in investment to incorporate the new venture and develop early proof-of-concept data
  • Guaranteed income of £4,166 per month paid as a consultancy fee until the company is launched and the pre-seed investment is secured
  • Majority equity stake in the new company for you and your co-founders
  • Continuous post-spinout support, including fundraising, commercial partnerships, recruitment, and team-building
