Senior Clinical Scientist

Faeth Therapeutics is a clinical-stage oncology company listed on Nasdaq that recently raised $200M in funding. With a strong scientific foundation and a founding team that includes the discoverer of the PI3K pathway, we are advancing PIKTOR, a multi-node PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor program, into late stage development.
