Drug Discovery Scientist

Lead Axiom’s drug discovery programs by combining medicinal chemistry, human biology, and scientific AI agents to develop safer, more effective drugs. Own scientific decisions from molecular design through experimental validation, working with pharmaceutical partners to advance candidates toward development and turn each program’s discoveries into better agents and tools.

• Lead Axiom drug discovery programs from initial hypothesis through lead optimization, integrating medicinal chemistry, human biology, computational methods, and AI agents to develop safer, more effective drugs.
• Help select programs where Axiom has a distinctive advantage, define target product and compound profiles, and establish clear milestones and go/no-go criteria.
• Own the design–make–test–analyze cycle, working with computational scientists, experimental teams, and synthesis partners to design molecules, prioritize experiments, interpret results, and decide what to do next.
• Use and help develop scientific agents that investigate toxicity mechanisms, integrate evidence, propose chemical modifications, and guide experimental decisions.
