The role

The Regulatory Affairs Associate at 4D Molecular Therapeutics, Inc. (4DMT) will be supporting the Regulatory Project Team (RPT) to ensure the successful progress of 4DMT’s product pipeline toward regulatory approval and commercialization. The role will work within the RPT and with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure timely review and approval of various regulatory submissions.

This role can be remote or hybrid. Strong preference is given to SF Bay Area/West Coast candidates.

4DMT is a leading late-stage biotechnology company advancing durable and disease-targeted therapeutics with potential to transform treatment paradigms and provide unprecedented benefits to patients. The Company’s lead product candidate 4D-150 is designed to be a backbone therapy forming the foundation of treatment of blinding retinal vascular diseases by providing multi-year sustained delivery of anti-VEGF (aflibercept and anti-VEGF-C) with a single, safe, intravitreal injection, which substantially reduces the treatment burden associated with current bolus injections. The Company’s lead indication for 4D-150 is wet age-related macular degeneration, which is currently in Phase 3 development, and second indication is diabetic macular edema. The Company’s second product candidate is 4D-710, which is the first known genetic medicine to demonstrate successful delivery and expression of the CFTR transgene in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis after aerosol delivery
