Genentech, Inc. South San Francisco, California, United States
Scientist/Sr Scientist, Oncology Pharmacodynamic Biomarker
The Department of Pharmacodynamic (PD) Biomarkers is a translational Pharmacology group dedicated to translating novel research discoveries into effective therapeutics for unmet medical needs. An important part of our success is the use of relevant and novel PD-biomarkers to help drive our decision making on which drugs to bring forward and how to dose them appropriately. The department of PD Biomarkers is currently seeking a highly motivated scientist/senior scientist within Oncology PD Biomarker group.
Responsibilites:
This individual will lead a laboratory group of research that develops and validates PD biomarkers for use in pre-clinical and clinical research. This individual will coordinate and manage PD biomarker strategies for oncology projects and be responsible for their implementation in clinical development. In addition to strong scientific skills in translational oncology, this individual must have strong leadership and managerial skills to allow coordination of multiple projects. This position will require close interaction with oncology research, PK/PD sciences, diagnostics, and clinical oncology.
Requirements:
Candidates must have a PhD or MD/PhD with seven or more years of industrial or relevant academic experience. Preferred candidates will have experience in preclinical pharmacology, development of PD biomarker assays, and their implementation in clinical trials. The candidate must have excellent communication skills and the ability to work on interdepartmental project teams. A demonstrated record of cutting edge research in translational oncology and/or industry experience is highly desirable. Applicants with additional experience are encouraged to apply.

This is the newest Blackberry, and it boasts that it is the sleekest and thinnest of all models prior. It has a very clear and crisp screen with a high resolution of 480×360 pixels. Of course, what is a Blackberry without GPS? This new model has a built in GPS feature that includes location-based software that shows maps and driving directions. Perhaps one of the most appealing features of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the Wi-Fi feature that allows ubiquitous access to the Internet. This means you can access email, the Internet, or instant messaging almost all of the time, as long as you’re within range. (more…)
Seeking to create an alternative to the United States’ global positioning system, China is busy building its own GPS network. On Wednesday, it launched the second satellite designed to support the system. It will need 30 more to complete the system by 2015.
China fired into orbit Wednesday its second satellite in a program to build an alternative to the global positioning system based on U.S. satellites.
The geostationary satellite is one of a series being slung into space to form the Beidou, or “Compass,” navigation system, the official Xinhua News Agency said, calling the system a “crucial part of the country’s space infrastructure.”

While potential customers and the technology press await T-Mobile’s More about T-Mobile G2 smartphone later this year, the wireless carrier is reportedly already knee-deep into the development of the next level of devices powered by the open source More about open source Android operating system.
The company will roll out a home phone and a tablet/netbook computer sometime in 2010, according to The New York Times, which cites confidential documents generated by a T-Mobile partner.
The home phone will include docking stations and the ability to send and receive data while recharging its battery, the newspaper says. The netbook computer, meanwhile, will not have a keyboard but will feature a touchscreen.
LinuxInsider requested comment from T-Mobile but received no response by press time.
A New Level of Devices
The Android news could indicate a seismic shift in the smartphone market — a shift that’s as much a result of software development as anything that carriers or handset makers are doing in their research labs.

Google has released research results about a new test to foil computers pretending to be humans by requiring them to orient an image so it’s upright.
A persistent problem on the Internet is screening out automated computer systems that can be used, for example, to sign up for spam-sending e-mail accounts or post comments designed to improve a site’s search results. Google, which already devotes a lot of resources to block e-mail and Web spam, has tried a new test to keep the bots at bay.
The test is the latest variation on a screening technique called a Captcha (completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart). The idea is that people can often tell which way is up in a photo, but computers have a harder time.
Captchas are in widespread use today, usually in the form of obscured or distorted text that people can still read. But there’s a lot of work in the area, including identifying 3D images and distinguishing between cats and dogs.
Here’s how Google authors Rich Gossweiler, Maryam Kamvar, and Shumeet Baluja described the image-orientation technique in their paper:
This task requires analysis of the often complex contents of an image, a task which humans usually perform well and machines generally do not. (more…)
