Vice President, Finance.

IDEAYA Biosciences (NASDAQ: IDYA) is a public, clinical-stage precision medicine oncology company committed to the discovery, development, and commercialization of targeted therapeutics for patient populations with high unmet clinical needs. Our approach integrates extensive capabilities in identifying and validating translational biomarkers with small molecule drug discovery to select patient populations most likely to benefit from the therapies we are developing. We have developed an industry leading platform and pipeline in precision medicine by applying these capabilities across multiple approaches such as direct targeting of oncogenic pathways and synthetic lethality, which represents an emerging class of precision medicine targets. We believe this diversified approach will enable us to deliver the right medicine to the right patient to drive a more robust clinical response.
