Surface Oncology is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on using its specialized knowledge of the biological pathways critical to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) for the development of next-generation therapies to help patients suffering with cancer. Recent advances in understanding how the immune system fights cancer has created a first wave of immunotherapies with profound benefits for some patients. These first-generation therapies, or "checkpoint inhibitors", have been groundbreaking, but only a relatively small subset of patients is deriving long-term benefit. We believe that the lack of a broad and sustained clinical response is because these first-generation therapies only target one component of the immunosuppressive TME and a broader, more multi-faceted therapeutic approach is required.
We are a team on a mission to deliver transformative outcomes for people with cancer by breaking through the frontiers of immuno-oncology research. Our diverse clinical and preclinical pipeline of immune-enhancing antibody candidates target the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system to deliver dramatically different therapies for patients and their families.
Surface is leveraging its deep understanding of TME biology to target factors and cells that suppress patients’ anti-tumor immune response. Our broad attack on the TME has the potential to convert patients’ non-responsive ‘cold’ tumors into immune-active ones. We push ourselves to break through across all dimensions of our work.
From a discovery perspective, Surface leverages its world-class SAB to identify new targets and takes an aggressive approach towards generating diverse, highly-specific antibodies, which allows our scientists to thoroughly explore the relevant biology. Our antibody discovery approach generates therapeutic-quality antibodies, as well as unique tools to explore the biology of the tumor microenvironment.

Adaptimmune, a leader in T-cell therapy, is a multinational, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel immunotherapies using its proprietary SPEAR T-cell receptor platform to treat solid tumors, which has the potential to transform the treatment of cancer.
Our proprietary SPEAR T-cell platform has generated a strong pipeline of affinity-enhanced T-cell therapies, with multiple INDs open. We use these therapies to harness the body's own immune system to find and destroy diseased cells. Our SPEAR TCR therapies offer promise to patients that often have no other options. We are working hard to make that promise a reality.
We are based in the UK, in Oxford, and in the US, in Philadelphia. For more information about Adaptimmune, please visit www.adaptimmune.com. If interested in joining our fast growing team, click on the careers tab of this page.

At Spark Therapeutics, we don’t follow footsteps. We create the path.
We were born of innovation, springing from the curiosity, imagination and dedication of remarkable scientists and healthcare visionaries. Our mission is seemingly impossible to others, but not to us: Challenge the inevitability of genetic disease by discovering, developing and delivering treatments in ways unimaginable – until now.
Since our founding, we have been committed to bringing a wide range of expertise to build a fully integrated gene therapy company focused on inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), neurodegenerative diseases, as well as diseases that can be addressed by targeting the liver, such as hemophilia. We are seeking talented individuals with diverse experiences, abilities and interests who have the curiosity, courage and drive to reimagine a new health care paradigm.
Join us on a journey through uncharted territory – seeking to bring gene therapy for genetic diseases to people worldwide. The resilience of the people we serve is our inspiration to break barriers, as we strive to turn genes into medicine for those with inherited diseases. Spark is a member of the Roche Group.
Know that working at Spark Therapeutics is not just another job; it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We embrace the challenges before us and the uncertainty inherent in them. Ultimately, we are working to create a world free of genetic disease. To learn more about Spark and our open positions, visit www.sparktx.com. You can also find us on Twitter at @Spark_tx.

The Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA) is the largest private funder of melanoma research. Since its founding in 2007, MRA has committed $143 million in funding to advance our understanding of this disease. MRA funds projects in the areas of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, with the majority of funding allocated for melanoma treatment. Due to the ongoing support of our founders, 100% of every donation to MRA supports melanoma research.
The mission of the Melanoma Research Alliance is to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and its translation into effective options for patients -- in prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment -- in order to eliminate suffering and death due to melanoma.

To those who say “impossible, impractical, unrealistic,” we say: “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.”
Alnylam is the world's leading RNAi therapeutics company and the first and only company to bring RNAi-based medicines to market.
We are developing RNAi (RNA interference) as an innovative, entirely new class of medicines to treat rare genetic, cardio metabolic, acute hepatic infectious and central nervous system (CNS) and ocular diseases.
Alnylam was founded in 2002 based on a Nobel Prize-winning breakthrough in biology – the discovery of RNAi, and a bold vision that this discovery could be used to silence disease-causing genes upstream of today’s medicines. We are relentless in our pursuit of new treatments because we believe that RNAi therapeutics can be used to treat many diseases for which treatment options do not exist or are inadequate.
Alnylam is turning scientific possibility into reality - in 2018, the FDA and EMA approved of our first product, ONPATTRO (patisiran) which is also the first-ever approved RNAi therapeutic. We now have four additional medicines on the market. Our robust pipeline of investigational medicines includes multiple programs in late-stage and early-stage clinical development.
We are a global and diverse company of 1,900+ people. We pride ourself on fostering a fun, inclusive and dynamic work environment where employees can recognize their fullest potential. That's why we've been named a Science Magazine Top Employer 3 years in a row ('19-'21), a Boston Globe Top Place to Work 8x in a row ('15-'21) and Fast Company's #1 Best Workplace for Innovators ('22
We are based in Cambridge, U.S., with offices throughout Europe, Asia, and South America.
We invite you to connect with us by following us on LinkedIn, Facebook (@AlnylamPharma) Twitter (@Alnylam), Instagram (@AlnylamPharma) and YouTube.
