Job Description
Department Description
As Team Lead Cell Therapy Manufacturing you’ll be joining a newly formed team in which people of all backgrounds and experiences are respected, and where working together, focused on saving lives, by finding a cure for cancer, is a daily activity. You’ll be reporting to the Senior Manager Manufacturing.
Our goal is to fundamentally change the way people think about cancer treatment by pushing the boundaries of what is possible with cell therapy — using genetically modified immune cells to target tumors.
CAR T-cell therapy is an individualized, one-time treatment with curative intent. It uses the power of a patient's own immune system (their white blood cells) to fight certain types of blood cancer.
If you have the ability to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment and feel that the moment has come for you to be part of such an exciting journey towards eliminating the burden of chronic cancer care, don’t miss out on this opportunity to join us and discover your sense of purpose.
