In vivo
Full-Time position Level: Assistant Scientist Location: On site (Philadelphia, PA) Start date: Available immediately Why Join Verismo?
Our team is small but driven, with the single focus of bringing life-changing cell therapies to patients with cancer. With a solid pipeline built around the novel KIR-CAR platform, and two clinical trials underway, our technology has found a way to circumvent the barriers in solid cancer where other CAR therapies have had limited success. KIR-CARs eliminate the artificial recombinant chimeric receptors used in CAR T cells and instead use a natural NK cell derived signaling system. This system is potent against both hematologic and solid tumors, and in preclinical models is superior to current CAR T in conferring long-term, sustained anti-tumor function to overcome T cell exhaustion. We have a strong team for pre-clinical development, CMC with PD and AD, clinical product manufacture, and lead clinical investigators bringing KIR-CARs to patients in need.
Our company is comprised of individuals who each bring something unique to the table and are valued for their contributions. Our culture is based on the concept of ‘love what you do' and the dedication that builds a team where people do their best and support one another.
