Join us on this journey

Cancer Vaccines

mRNA technology: Trains the immune system to recognize unique proteins (neoantigens) on a specific tumor.

Advanced Cell Therapies (CAR-T and TIL)

CAR T-cell expansion: Researchers modify T cells in vivo or adapt them to break through the microenvironments of solid tumors.
TIL therapy: T cells are extracted from a tumor and reinfused to hunt down cancer cells.

Oncolytic Virus Therapy

Use of genetically engineered viruses: They replicate inside cancer cells and destroy them. The modified viruses signal the immune system to attack the remaining tumor cells.

Targeted Inhibitors

Menin Inhibitors: They block specific protein interactions.
Advanced KRAS/RAS inhibitors: Oral inhibitors target mutations that drive lung, colorectal, and pancreatic tumors..

Bispecific Antibodies and ADCs

Bispecific T-cell Engagers (BITEs: They bind cancer cells and T-cells and pull the body's immune defense into the tumor.
Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs): Link a monoclonal antibody to a chemotherapy payload, dropping toxicity into the cancer cell while sparing healthy tissue.

And Others. Will your therapy be next?

How we support those hiring

In oncology drug development, every hire matters. The person you offer the next position to can make the difference in a drug's success or failure. Your company and our team are not making paperclips. You're developing oncology and perhaps other drugs that may save lives, and that is a massive responsibility. We will take the time to understand your programs, culture, and goals—whether building teams, advancing clinical assets, or getting ready to enter the NDA/BLA phase.

How we support oncology professionals in their job search

If you are an oncology professional considering your next move, we understand that career decisions can be tough. You have invested years in developing your expertise, and your next opportunity should reflect that value. We will take time to understand your experience and both your career and personal goals. If we waste your time by directing you to incompatible positions, that is also a waste of our time and a poor use of our 25+ years of recruiting experience. We will not let that happen. Our commitment is simple: transparency, discretion, and success..

About the Firm

Quarter-century of trusted industry partnership.

OncologySearch.com was founded on a simple principle: That the life sciences search business requires years of learning to develop the tools necessary to know what person or company to contact to identify the right match for each search we undertake. It is much more than LinkedIn and database searches.

For over two decades, we have partnered with emerging biotech startups, venture capital firms, and global pharmaceutical leaders to recruit executives and key scientific minds across North America and Europe.

"We speak the language of your science, ensuring you recruit leaders who genuinely understand your platform."
