Senior Director / Safety Scientist, Pharmacovigilance Operations

Sr. Director/Safety Scientist, Pharmacovigilance Operations Remote - USA Overview Sr. Director/Safety Scientist, Pharmacovigilance Operations In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible. Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask “why not?” and help reengineer the future of biopharma. Affiliate Overview ML Bio, an affiliate within BridgeBio Pharma, is developing BBP-418 (ribitol), an investigational oral therapy for the treatment of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9), a rare genetic neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the FKRP gene. BBP-418 is designed to address the underlying disease biology by supplying ribitol to support proper glycosylation of α-dystroglycan, which is critical for muscle integrity and function. The program has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency, as well as Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease Designations from the U.S. FDA. Topline interim results from the Phase 3 FORTIFY study have been publicly reported and support the ongoing clinical development of BBP-418. BBP-418 continues to be evaluated in global registrational clinical studies with the intent to bring a potential therapy to patients affected by this serious rare disease.
