Senior Associate, Regulatory Operations

Company:

Nurix Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule therapies designed to modulate cellular protein levels as a novel treatment approach for cancer and immune disorders. Leveraging Nurix’s extensive expertise in E3 ligases together with its proprietary DNA-encoded libraries, Nurix has built DELigase, an integrated discovery platform to identify and advance novel drug candidates targeting E3 ligases, a broad class of enzymes that can modulate proteins within the cell. Nurix’s drug discovery approach is to either harness or inhibit the natural function of E3 ligases within the ubiquitin proteasome system to selectively decrease or increase cellular protein levels. 

Nurix’s wholly owned pipeline comprises targeted protein degraders of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), a B-cell signaling protein, and an inhibitor of Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene-B (CBL-B), an E3 ligase that regulates T cell activation.  Nurix is also progressing multiple programs through partnership, including an IRAK4 degrader in Phase 1 in partnership with Gilead and a STAT6 degrader in IND enabling studies with Sanofi.  Multiple additional wholly owned and partnered programs are at various stages of preclinical development.
