Head of Biology

Head of Bio

London/ Oxford/ Birmingham - Hybrid

We’re working on nanotech-augmentation of humans, creating remote-controlled cells inside patients, and we’re growing! MICA is hiring a Head of Bio to lead the antibody and biological side of our platform as we move towards clinical translation. 

This is a senior role sitting under the CSO and alongside the Head of Platform. While the Head of Platform is responsible for the physics and engineering of the technology, this post will own the antibody, biological and translational biology workstreams across the business.

We are looking for someone who can operate comfortably across scientific leadership, external partner management and commercial execution in a fast-moving biotech environment.

At MICA, you will help drive the biological strategy behind a novel platform technology as we progress from late preclinical development towards Phase 2a clinical readiness. A central focus of the role will be coordinating in-house and outsourced antibody workstreams, from finalising manufacturing for the final GLP toxicology study, through regulatory preparation, and into clinic-ready GMP manufacturing.

This is an opportunity for a senior scientist who wants to stay close to the science while also playing a meaningful role in the wider commercial life of a venture-backed company.
