Associate Medical Director / Medical Director, Endocrinology / Metabolism

Redwood City, California, United States

Corcept is leading the way in the research and development of cortisol modulators, molecules that regulate cortisol activity at the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To date, we have discovered more than 1,000 selective proprietary cortisol modulators.

In 2012, we received FDA approval of Korlym (mifepristone), the first approved treatment for hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome).

Today, our team and collaborators continue to unlock the possibilities of cortisol modulation as a way to treat serious diseases. With more than 30 ongoing studies across a wide range of disease areas, including endocrinology, oncology, metabolism, and neurology, we remain dedicated to advancing the possibilities of cortisol modulation.

The Associate Medical Director / Medical Director will be a key scientific leader for clinical development of relacorilant, a cortisol modulator, for treatment of endogenous hypercortisolism and / or miricorilant, a liver-targeted cortisol modulator, for the treatment of MASH (metabolic associated steatohepatitis).
