Title: Lab Manager
Company: Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
About Us Eupraxia is a clinicalstage biotechnology company focused on developing locally delivered, extendedrelease products that have the potential to address therapeutic areas with high unmet medical need. DiffuSphere™, a proprietary, polymerbased microsphere technology, is designed to facilitate targeted drug delivery of both existing and novel drugs. The technology is designed to support an extended duration of effect and delivery of drugs in a hyperlocalized fashion, targeting only the tissues that physicians want to treat. We believe the potential for fewer adverse events may be achieved through the precision targeting and the stable and flat delivery of the active ingredient when using the DiffuSphere™ technology, versus the peaks and troughs seen with more traditional drug delivery methods. The precision of Eupraxia's DiffuSphere™ technology platform has the potential to augment and transform existing FDAapproved drugs to improve their safety, tolerability, efficacy and duration of effect. The potential uses in therapeutic areas may go beyond pain and inflammatory gastrointestinal disease, where Eupraxia currently is developing advanced treatments, also to be applicable in oncology, infectious disease and other critical disease areas.

Eupraxia's EP104GI is currently in a Phase 1b/2a trial, the RESOLVE trial, for the treatment of EoE. EP104GI is administered as an injection into the esophageal wall, providing local delivery of drug. This is a unique treatment approach for EoE. Eupraxia also recently completed a Phase 2b clinical trial (SPRINGBOARD) of EP104IAR for the treatment of pain due to knee osteoarthritis. The trial met its primary endpoint and three of the four secondary endpoints. In addition, Eupraxia is developing a pipeline of longacting formulations at both later and earlier stages. Potential pipeline indications include candidates for other inflammatory joint indications and oncology, each designed to improve on the activity and tolerability of currently approved drugs.

We are seeking an individual who is interested in working for a fastpaced, growing company that fosters a creative spirit and integrated teamwork, and who is eligible to work in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
