Operations/Administrative Associate (Part Time)

About the N1C Rare diseases are individually rare, but collectively common — hundreds of millions are impacted globally across ~10,000 diseases. Many affect children, most have no treatments, and the commercial drug development opportunities are limited. The dawn of new genetic medicines has made possible the development of drugs tailored to a single patient.

Scaling this pathway safely and sustainably requires building a new paradigm and best practices in a collaborative, open, and thoughtful manner. The N=1 Collaborative (N1C) is a non-profit organization of clinicians, scientists, regulators, patient advocates from across academia, government, foundations, and biotech/pharma committed to openly sharing and iterating our work with the broader community in order to make individualized medicines routine worldwide.
