Job Description:
Company Information
Champions Biotechnology, Inc. is engaged in the development of advanced preclinical platforms and predictive tumor specific data to enhance and accelerate the value of oncology drugs. The position will be located at our offices in the Phoenix Arizona metropolitan area.
The Company’s preclinical platform is a novel approach based upon the implantation of primary human tumors in immune deficient mice followed by propagation of the resulting xenografts (Biomerk TumorgraftsTM) in a manner that preserves the biological characteristics of the original human tumor. The Company believes that these Tumorgrafts closely reflect human cancer biology and their response to drugs is more predictive of clinical outcomes in cancer patients.
Champions Biotechnology leverages its preclinical platform to evaluate oncology drug candidates and to develop a portfolio of novel therapeutic drugs through pre-clinical trials. As drugs progress through this early stage of development, the Company plans to sell, partner or license them to pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology companies, as appropriate. The Company also offers it predictive preclinical platform and tumor specific data to physicians for personalized patient care and to companies for evaluation of oncology drug candidates in models that integrate prognostic testing with biomarker discovery.
