Biologist As Scientist - Research Studies, Data Reporting (M/F/D)

JOIN OUR TEAM

We are looking for individuals to join us who are inspired to work at a company that is rapidly growing, with an international team, that works on cutting edge science. We are committed to hiring people from diverse and unique personal and professional backgrounds, to combine viewpoints, approaches and methodologies, and to build together transformative therapies for cancer patients. If you are innovative, collaborative, and are looking to make a huge impact, you’re who we’re looking for!

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, developing T cell receptor (TCR) therapies for solid tumor cancers. Our dynamic team has set an ambitious goal to revolutionize the TCR landscape. Following our successful Series B financing, we are well positioned to reach those goals.

We have the benefit of being transatlantic, with locations in San Francisco and Berlin, and are looking to expand in all locations. We have a strong team of scientists who have demonstrated preclinical proof-of-concept with multiple TCRs, have validated the platform for over 90 undisclosed cancer targets, and have several drug candidates currently in preclinical development. We are on track to enter the clinic with our first program.

It’s an exciting time to join T-knife!
