Founded in 2008, Stemcentrx combines state-of-the-art research and GMP manufacturing capabilities. This has allowed us to advance from target discovery in our laboratory to treating patients in clinical trials at an accelerated pace. We are investigating many of the largest and most lethal cancers through our proprietary platforms that identify cancer stem cells, discover novel targets, engineer and manufacture antibodies and antibody drug conjugates.
Our mission is to develop therapies that cure and significantly improve survival for cancer patients. We are pioneering new approaches to eliminate cancer stem cells, which initiate and perpetuate tumors. Stemcentrx has assembled a talented and motivated team committed to this mission. We are recruiting people with world-class expertise in their practice, versatility, high energy and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Our state-of-the-art laboratories and manufacturing facilities are located in South San Francisco, California. We have a driven, ambitious, focused, hard-working, apolitical, fun, and collaborative culture that is more typical of Silicon Valley startups than large pharmaceutical companies. Our employees are compensated with salary, benefits and stock options.
