FLSA Status: Full Time/Exempt
Mission Statement
The mission of PackGene Biotech is to accelerate gene therapy product development by providing an integrated one-stop shop solution to the gene therapy industry. We strive to make gene therapy accessible to more patients in needs.
Gene therapy is believed to revolutionize the healthcare field in upcoming years. PackGene is well positioned to play a big role in this transformation.
Company Background
PackGene Biotech was founded in 2014 by a team of visionary scientists united by a common goal-to make life-changing gene therapies accessible to all. Witnessing the success of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in restoring sight and hearing to patients, our team saw both the promise and the challenge: the high cost and complexity of vector production, which limited access to those who needed it most.
Determined to overcome these barriers, we built PackGene to revolutionize AAV manufacturing with innovative, scalable, and cost-effective solutions. Our work has enabled life-changing therapies, including a young boy born with congenital deafness. After receiving an AAV-based treatment produced by PackGene, he began responding to his family's voices. A few months later, he spoke his first word: “Dad.” His father wept with joy-a moment that reminded our team why we do what we do. It was more than just science; it was about restoring hope and giving families a future.
Today, PackGene is a global leader, serving clients in over 30 countries and partnering with more than 1,000 biopharmaceutical companies and research institutions. Our slogan, "Make Gene Therapy Affordable," reflects our unwavering mission. We focus on tackling key challenges in gene therapy development, including viral vector production and specific targeting, mRNA technologies, and GMP production at scale. We are committed to providing stable, qualified, cost-efficient, and fast services, along with technical support, to empower our gene therapy partners. Together, we aim to transform lives and build a healthier, better world.
