Product Manager - Geroscience

Cambrian Biopharma is working on two new exciting initiatives and we are looking for a Product Manager - Geroscience to help build out both product offerings.

About Cambrian Biopharma

Cambrian Biopharma, a multi-asset longevity biotech, is building the medicines that will redefine healthcare in the 21st century – therapeutics to lengthen health span, the period of life spent in good health.

By partnering with leading academic institutions and biotech entrepreneurs worldwide, we are advancing a diversified pipeline of novel therapeutics, each targeting a biological driver of aging. Our approach is to develop interventions that treat specific diseases first, then deploy them as preventative medicines to improve the overall quality of life as we age.

Cambrian is a Distributed Development Company (or DisCo) that combines the advantages of a venture capital firm and a big pharmaceutical company with the nimbleness of a biotech startup.

Cambrian's sourcing and development engine allow us to identify promising science, deploy capital and teams of drug development experts, and provide stewardship to advance new medicines. By leveraging established expertise and repeatable functional models, we achieve vast efficiencies in execution speed and resource utilization.

To date, we have 14 novel therapeutics in development and have closed a Series C financing round in October 2021, which raised $100 million. We plan to expand the number of programs. Further, we expect to initiate clinical trials for some of our three programs in the upcoming months.

Projects

Project Devonian

Devonian is a membership club that’s in the business of longevity. We succeed as a business if our members live long, healthy and vibrant lives, fulfilling their goals and aspirations in the best of health. As part of this offering, we will offer comprehensive biomarker testing (including multi-omics) as well an evidence based review of longevity interventions.

Project Ordo

Ordo is the Cambrian longevity biomarker program. The key aim of Ordo is to establish and implement a strategy for biomarker data collection and longevity biomarker discovery to facilitate the clinical development of Cambrian and Industry-wide longevity drug assets. This project spans establishing and implementing protocols for sample collection, building a network of vendors on the cutting edge of omics approaches for big data generation and contributing to research and development to discover and validate the best biomarkers of aging. Developing biomarkers of aging is a critical step towards bringing longevity therapeutics to market, so this initiative is of key importance to Cambrian and to the entire longevity ecosystem.
