Senior Administrative Assistant

Ready to take your administrative skills to the next level? Join our team at ONL Therapeutics as a Senior Administrative Assistant and play a crucial role in supporting our dynamic office environment!

About Us

ONL Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to helping patients see the future. Our mission is to develop innovative therapeutics to protect and improve the vision of patients with a range of retinal diseases and conditions.

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the company is looking for dynamic self-starters to join the company. The company’s lead therapeutic candidate, ONL1204, is a first-in-class small peptide with a unique and differentiated mechanism of action.

By inhibiting the Fas receptor, ONL1204 effectively blocks the activation of the Fas pathway and the related immune signaling which results in the death of key retinal cells and loss of vision.

ONL’s lead compound ONL1204 Ophthalmic Solution is being studied across the following indications :

• A Phase 2 clinical study in patients with macula-off, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. This US-based study is now complete with final CSR and closeout activities underway.
• A Phase 1b clinical study in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

This study conducted in Australia and New Zealand is now complete with final CSR and closeout activities underway.

• A Phase 1b clinical study in patients with open-angle glaucoma. This study conducted in Australia and New Zealand is now complete with final CSR and closeout underway.
• ONL is now preparing for a global Phase 2 study in GA to be launched in in 2024.
