PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and operated by the prime contractor Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. FNL is responsible for pursuing a unique mission in translational and applied biomedical research that is unsuitable for academia, the pharmaceutical industry, or other federal contractors. This open position in is ideally suited for a scientist who is more interested in applied Research & Development than in pursuing basic research knowledge. The selected candidate will join the NExT/CBC support group.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) established the Chemical Biology Consortium (CBC) as the drug discovery engine of the NCI Experimental Therapeutics (NExT) Program (http://next.cancer.gov). The NExT Program mission is to produce agents that move along a milestone-based path to become anticancer therapeutics. The consortium is composed of members from academic, government, and private institutions that provide the essential scientific knowledge, skills, and technical capabilities required to discover new therapeutic compounds and advance them into clinical candidates. Scientific Project Managers at Leidos Biomed work with the NCI Chemical Biology Consortium (CBC) and the drug discovery project teams to help manage the program for NCI. The CBC serves to bridge the gap between scientifically-based therapeutic hypotheses and the creation of a novel chemical entity with potential to provide clinical benefit to cancer patients.
