- Zolucatetide is being evaluated in the clinic across multiple Wnt/β-catenin-driven diseases, including desmoid tumors, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and a range of other solid tumor indications.
- Beyond zolucatetide, Parabilis is advancing additional Helicon-based programs focused on other challenging targets where we believe our medicines could have life-altering impact.
Responsibilities
- Lead formulation development for peptide therapeutics across parenteral (SC/IV/IM), oral, and advanced delivery systems (e.g., nanoparticles, depot formulations)
- Design and optimize dosage forms including injectables, tablets, capsules, and enabling delivery technologies
- Evaluate and implement high concentration peptide formulation, incorporating sustained release, absorption enhancement, and stabilization strategies
- Design and interpret biorelevant in vitro and in vivo studies to support PK/PD and candidate selection
- Support technology transfer, scale-up, and external manufacturing (CRO/CDMO) activities
- Collaborate cross-functionally with DMPK, biology, analytical, and regulatory teams
