ABOUT THE ROLE At DSV we're looking for future Founders, entrepreneurially minded individuals with industry-specific technical and commercial domain expertise eager to solve urgent unmet challenges through venture building. You will join DSV's venture creation programme as a Founder in Residence and work closely with the DSV team, using our methodology , to lead the spin-out of a new company. During the programme, you'll work on all aspects related to venture creation in this opportunity area, including working out the optimal approach to solve for the desired outcome, building a team and building a viable business case. Once the new venture is incorporated with pre-seed investment from DSV, you and your co-founders will own the majority stake in the business and continue receiving support from the DSV team post-spinout. THE OPPORTUNITY AREA Addressing the manufacturing needs of cement, steel, chemicals, aluminium, fertiliser, pulp & paper, glass, and industrially-produced food and drinks depends delivering huge quantities of heat to dozens of manufacturing processes. To supply so-called "process heat" to these processes, such as drying, fermenting, melting, boiling, steaming or curing etc, currently requires burning billions of tonnes of fossil fuels generating 7.5 Gt/yr of emissions. Currently as much as 35% of these emissions are created from processes that occur below 120 C, a temperature that is economical to electrify via heat pumps. Reducing these emissions in the immediate term (7 - 10 years) would allow humanity to stay on track for Net Zero by 2050. OUR APPROACH Converting our current fossil fuel usage to renewable energy through electrification of heating sources is already underway in some production settings, but progress is stifled by extremely challenging economics. Even at 100% heater efficiency, in the USA, operating costs for direct electrification (e.g. electric boilers) using grid electricity are 5 times higher than existing natural gas systems and in Europe the operating costs are double even today. The only device capable of bridging this OPEX gap is industrial-scale heat pumps. Despite this, the capital cost of heat pumps must fall by 10 times to a similar cost as fridge compressors and internal combustion engines, and installation costs by 2 - 3 times before they can become competitive with existing natural gas powered heating. We aim to achieve this cost reduction by selling a fully-integrated, modular heat pump solution. We are looking for a commercially-minded founder with the following traits and background: Previously led or managed commercial aspects of an innovative engineering, industrial, or hardware technology venture Broad understanding of technical product development and R&D commercialisation Has experience in end-to-end sales, from generating sales leads to closing commercial and/or development agreements Desire to work on very large scale problems Motivated to make a significant impact on climate change Bonus requirements Familiarity working in one or multiple of the following industries: Food & Beverage ingredients manufacturing, Paper & Pulp making or Non-metallic minerals manufacture Sold turnkey industrial equipment for manufacturing use and operation Has high level of structure, organisation and discipline By joining DSV, you'll be joining a team of operators who have founded companies and led translation of science at some of the most respected universities, charities, funds and government agencies. 2/3 of the team have founded or led a company at C-suite and 65% have a PhD. Our team dedicate several hours every week to each Founder or founding team to provide tailored guidance, resources and feedback covering every aspect of what it takes to successfully launch a new venture from both the tech and commercial perspectives: We provide optimised, purpose-built, proprietary tools, resources and processes to help create high-impact ventures from scratch, using our venture creation methodology. Read more about one of our key tools here. We draw on opportunity area specific know-how provided by our network of Partners and Advisors; We provide £250k investment governed by our Investment Committee to incorporate the new venture and develop early proof-of-concept data that's needed to attract high profile non-venture studio VCs. This funding is also key to get grant funding, which most often needs to be matched with private investment; We provide guaranteed income of £4,166 per month paid to each Founder in Residence as a consultancy fee until the company is launched and the pre-seed investment is secured; You and your co-founders will own a majority equity stake in the company; We provide continuous support after post spin-out, including fundraising, commercial partnerships, recruitment and team-building (amongst other things); plus There are dozens of Founders currently at DSV across sectors working collaboratively and supporting one another - a unique resource to draw on. ABOUT DSV Deep Science Ventures is creating a future in which both humans and the planet can thrive. We use our unique venture creation process to create, spin-out and invest into science companies, combining available scientific knowledge and founder-type scientists into high-impact ventures. We operate in 4 sectors: Pharmaceuticals, Climate, Agriculture and Computation, tackling the challenges defining those areas by taking a first principles approach and partnering with leading institutions.

ABOUT THE ROLE At DSV we're looking for future Founders, entrepreneurially minded individuals with industry-specific technical and commercial domain expertise eager to solve urgent unmet challenges through venture building. You will be joining a newly incorporated company as a Co-Founder, working closely with Dr. Loïc Roux , who has been building the company OligoTune through DSV's venture creation programme as a Founder-in-Residence. Over the last 10 months, Loïc has worked with DSV, devising and de-risking a novel RNA-based approach to overcome immune suppression in the tumour microenvironment. This venture is now close to being launched, and once incorporated with pre-seed investment from DSV, the co-founders will own the majority stake in the business and continue receiving support from the DSV team post-spinout. By joining Loïc at this stage, you will be driving all stages of early company growth, with a focus on tumour biology, immunology and pre-clinical development. In addition, you will be teamed up with our Venture Partner for this opportunity, Dr. Stevel Powell , alongside a growing scientific advisory board. THE OPPORTUNITY AREA Immunotherapies, especially antibody-based immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and CAR-T cell therapy have revolutionised cancer treatment with incredible results in a subset of solid tumours and in blood cancers, respectively. Despite this widely recognised success and paradigm shift in cancer treatment, these therapies still only increase median patient survival by limited degrees, often by only 10-20% vs. chemotherapies, or they only work in selected patient subsets with variable predictability. In addition, the development of resistance mechanisms, such as enhanced immune suppression, is frequent, as a result of selective pressure on the cancer to evade this method of detection by the immune system. This leads to therapeutic resistance initially and, later, recurrence. We are still far from enabling immunotherapies to work across all cancers, or in all patients. Immune suppression is caused by a variety of mechanisms within the tumour microenvironment (TME) of solid tumours, and is a well-known cause for failure of ICIs. The lack of TME-specific cell markers means that targeted approaches (e.g. to inhibit or deplete TME cell types) incur significant autoimmune-like side effects on the same cells in other parts of the body, rendering these therapies intolerable or unusable in a substantial proportion of patients - an issue that typically compounds with combinatorial immunotherapies. WHAT WE ARE BUILDING In collaboration with our partner Cancer Research Horizons, we are seeking to build the 'holy grail' company, solving these above challenges by simultaneously reprogramming multiple problematic cell types in the tumour microenvironment, while preventing systemic toxicities associated with current treatments. We believe we can build technology that can revert the immune suppressive environment of solid tumours and transform them into a susceptible state where the full power of ICIs can be unleashed - even in patients who would otherwise not respond (or be eligible for) conventional ICI therapies. The collaboration with Cancer Research Horizons Therapeutic Innovation brings a highly-skilled team of scientific leaders and hands-on experts to drive the creation of this venture and realise a streamlined pathway for this therapeutic approach to the clinic. DSV will provide ongoing support in venture creation and growth throughout the process, and experimental work will be supported through in-kind contributions at Cancer Research Horizons' state-of-the-art research facilities in Cambridge, UK. We are looking for a passionate and motivated co-founder with strong scientific expertise and track-record in immunology or immuno-oncology, to drive forward the science of this early-stage biotech. The successful candidate will co-lead this company and be a key player in driving the company vision, strategy and market positioning, as well as in conducting and overseeing research and development activities. Key roles will include: Providing scientific leadership and expertise in immunology and immuno-oncology, guiding the strategic direction of research and development efforts to advance the company's scientific objectives; Collaborating with the co-founder and broader team to shape the company's vision, strategy, and market positioning, leveraging deep immunological knowledge to identify opportunities and drive innovation; Overseeing and actively participating in research and development activities by: Designing, refining and optimising the experimental work plan to ensure successful execution and generation of high-quality scientific data; Orchestrating the development of cutting-edge oligonucleotide therapeutics for critical in vitro and ex vivo translational studies in order to assess efficacy, toxicology and PK/PD profiles of those drugs in the context of our technology; Systematically screening and defining a target selection pipeline Developing in vivo biodistribution and efficacy study plans and overseeing these studies; Guiding the development and integration of new assays and technologies, to continuously improve our technology; Crafting compelling data packages and presentations for investor conversations; Taking responsibility for the financial planning, resource allocation, and management of projects and contractual research; Cultivating robust relations with strategic partners and collaborators, suppliers and organisations to ensure accelerated and co-ordinated translational research; Identifying, developing, and safeguarding novel intellectual property, ensuring the protection and commercialisation of valuable innovations; Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and standards relevant to immunology and immuno-oncology Identifying and mitigating risks, making informed decisions based on scientific evidence and company considerations, and adapting strategies as needed Overall, the co-founder will play a pivotal role in shaping the scientific direction, growth, and success of the company, driving forward the science of immunology and immuno-oncology to make meaningful contributions to patients' lives. WHO SHOULD APPLY Essential (must-have): You have a PhD and/or MD background in immunology or immuno-oncology. You are driven by unsolved challenges in medicine, especially oncology and immunotherapy, and have the ambition to work with a team to build new solutions resulting in curative therapies You have deep hands-on experience in functional immunological assays, particularly with tumour microenvironment immune cell types (ie.

Wellcome is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships. We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health and well being, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate. These challenges need the bold research our funding supports, but they won't be solved by science alone. We are looking for up to five Research Managers to contribute to the delivery of the Climate & Health programme ensuring strategic objectives are met. Each role will be focused on delivering within one of the Climate & Health sub-teams (Impacts and Adaptation; Mitigation; and Capacity and Field Development) which you can express a preference for in your application. Further detail on each sub-team can be found below. This role is part of the Climate & Health team, which will deliver an ambitious portfolio of research, translation and engagement activity. This role will support the team to convene, fund and share learning in-line with the Climate & Health strategy by implementing specific projects and activities such as: implementing and assessing funding calls and commissions, convening groups, drafting reports and liaising with internal and external groups and individuals as required. Our vision is a world where catastrophic climate breakdown is averted in a way that allows human health to flourish. More information about Wellcome's Climate & Health work can be found here . Impacts & Adaptation role The climate Impacts & Adaptation team will develop and fund a portfolio of research to support the evidence base of the effects on health of climate change that can help identify vulnerabilities and underpin effective mitigation and adaptation actions, and support the development, evaluation and advancement of climate adaptation actions. We will bring together scientists from a wide range of disciplines to undertake policy relevant climate and health research including novel methods for impact assessment and knowledge synthesis. We will also seek opportunities that cut across Wellcome's two other Challenge areas (infectious disease and mental health). We expect applicants to have an understanding of how climate and health integrate across systems and sectors, a broad understanding of research methods and have significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of climate and health science, broadly defined. Mitigation role The climate Mitigation team will fund research to support the development, evaluation and advancement of climate mitigation interventions that are designed to improve health outcomes. We will support trans-disciplinary science that brings together researchers from climate, health and related sectors - together with policy actors, the private sector and those responsible for driving action to ensure that our research addresses the needs of research users and increases the likelihood of uptake, from the local to global levels. We expect applicants to have a strong understanding of how climate and health integrate across systems and sectors, and have significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of climate and health science, broadly defined. We welcome applicants with a diverse range of experiences at the research-to-action interface from identifying and advancing policies and solutions, systems thinking and evaluating complex interventions, implementation research and climate or health economics, to product development and novel and/or technological solutions (these are illustrative examples only). Capacity and Field Development role The Capacity and Field Development team will help catalyse a more coherent and diverse climate and health science community that shares values and goals, fosters creative new research, and unearths new understanding from existing evidence. We believe that to advance research and policy in climate and health will require a trans-disciplinary approach that brings together researchers from different fields relevant to climate and health - together with policy actors, the private sector and others responsible for driving action. Understanding and addressing climate change and health will require an appreciation of how biological, physical and social factors interact. Our approach to field building includes ensuring climate and health scientists from diverse disciplines use common metrics, learn from each other and make use of the insights and views of those most affected. Successful applicants will need to have significant expertise in relation to at least one specialist area of climate and health science, broadly defined, and experience of working with and convening researchers from diverse backgrounds. Across all areas, we welcome applicants from a diverse range of experiences in interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research, research management and research funding from academia, government, the private sector and civil society.
