Who We Are
Cogent Biosciences is a publicly traded biotechnology company developing real solutions to treat genetically driven diseases. With a focus on rational drug discovery and development we are leveraging validated biology to advance precision therapies designed to address the true underlying drivers of disease and provide real hope for patients. Cogent’s lead therapeutic candidate bezuclastinib (CGT9486) is a precision kinase inhibitor designed to selectively and potently inhibit the KIT D816V mutation. This mutation is responsible for driving a rare and serious condition called Systemic Mastocytosis (SM) which can severely impact many different tissues and organs in the body. We are also studying CGT9486 to treat advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) which have a strong dependence on oncogenic KIT signaling. We are currently enrolling two Phase 2 clinical trials for patients with SM and a global Phase 3 trial for GIST patients.
Our Team
The Medical Science Liaison role is focused on our lead clinical development program bezuclastinib. The primary specialties for outreach and engagement include oncology (solid tumors/sarcoma; Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor GIST) hematology/oncology (across the spectrum of NonAdvanced Systemic Mastocytosis and Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis) and allergy and immunology (NonAdvanced Systemic Mastocytosis) in the assigned territory.
In the periproductlaunch period select MSL/Sr MSL team members will partner with a crossfunctional team to develop strategic scientifically accurate and balanced value and evidence plans that will be leveraged for scientific discourse in the field with HCPs and may also expand to support of interactions with payer audiences in collaboration with the commercial team. Another important aspect of this role is to partner with team members responsible for Patient Advocacy to ensure the patient’s perspective is appropriately and adequately included in scientific communications to underscore patient goals and objectives that aims to advance care across the healthcare spectrum and ultimately to improve health outcomes. Patientcentricity is a core tenet of Cogent’s approach with all stakeholders both internal and external.
The successful MSL/Sr MSL candidate is someone who thrives in a fastpaced environment and is passionate about making an impact on the lives of patients with unmet medical needs.
