Job Details
Black Diamond Therapeutics is a precision oncology medicine company pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies. Black Diamond targets undrugged mutations in patients with genetically defined cancers for whom limited treatment options currently exist. Black Diamond is built upon a deep understanding of cancer genetics, protein structure and function, and medicinal chemistry. The Company’s proprietary technology platform, Mutation-Allostery-Pharmacology, or MAP, platform, is designed to allow Black Diamond to analyze population-level genetic sequencing data to identify oncogenic mutations that promote cancer across tumor types, group these mutations into families and develop a single small molecule therapy in a tumor-agnostic manner that targets a specific family of mutations.
Black Diamond is looking for a Research Co-Op who will be on site and work closely with the hiring manager to learn and contribute to the BDTx pipeline program.
ResponsibilitiesThe Co-Op will plan and perform cellular, biochemical and molecular biology assays. When necessary, the intern will optimize the assay protocols. All experiment results should be analyzed and recorded in the electronic lab notebook. The Co-Op will present the work to the BDTX biology team.
QualificationsExperience & Qualifications:
· Minimum qualifications are ≥ 0.5 year previous lab experience
· Taken cellular biology or equivalent classes,
· Proficient in Excel, Word, Powerpoint,
· Good communication skill, able to work in a team setting
· Lift and carry ≤ 10 lb reagents.
Work Environment:
This job operates in a professional office environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment.

Our Vision
Precision Cancer Medicines for Every Genetically-Defined Patient
Company Overview
Black Diamond Therapeutics: A Next-Wave Cancer Precision Medicine Company
Black Diamond Therapeutics has pioneered the development of selective medicines for patients with genetically-defined cancers driven by oncogenes activated by allosteric mutations.
The cornerstone of our approach derives from evolving trends in cancer clinical medicine. Genome-wide information – now routinely obtained from DNA testing of cancer patients – identifies clusters of uncharacterized genomic alterations. Today, new baskets of un-drugged oncogenic targets exist, leading to the identification of additional cancer patients in need of novel therapies.
Using our MAP platform, Black Diamond Therapeutics is pioneering new ways to functionally assess the mutational landscape of individual oncogenes – to discover and validate new targets, and to develop novel approaches to creating highly selective therapeutics.
