A Clinical Research Coordinator II (CRC II) position is available for the Precision Medicine joint Spatial Biology Program of the DFCI Department of Pathology (Dr. Keith Ligon Lab) and the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology (LSP) at Harvard Medical School (Dr. Peter Sorger and Dr. Sandro Santagata Labs). The candidate will be required to liaise between the LSP, DF/HCC hospitals, and external investigators to facilitate highly collaborative translational biomarker driven research. The position will provide applicants with outstanding opportunities for interaction with physicians, clinical research staff, basic researchers and patients in a dynamic and exciting environment. The main goal of this position is to facilitate the emerging fields of cancer spatial biology. Multiplexed tissue imaging and multi-omic data integration are new research approaches which rely on sharing tissue specimens and data between multidisciplinary collaborators, helping to ensure regulatory compliance for each research project, and maintaining records of research samples and data. The position is embedded within a team of CRCs at the Department of Pathology and applicants will work closely with principal investigators, program managers, biomarker researchers, and data scientists. The CRC (Clinical Research Coordinators) work within the clinical research program and support the research team in the overall conduct of clinical trials using Good Clinical Practice under the auspices of the Principal Investigator and the Clinical Research Manager. The CRC will be responsible for the primary data collection and management of patient clinical information as it pertains to participation in clinical trials and patient consent. Ensures timely facilitation of trial assessments per protocol and collection of protocol related samples including shipment to outside entities as required. Will support and maintain participant/subject trial binders and may maintain regulatory binders, to ensure study compliance with all state, federal, and IRB requirements. May be responsible for pertinent IRB protocol submissions. This individual may also screen patients for protocol eligibility, obtain informed consent for non-treatment trials, and register study participants with the clinical trials management system, ONCORE. Some travel may be required.
