Research Associate/ Senior Research Associate, Oncology Research
About the Company:
Dren Bio (the "Company") is a privately held, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune and other serious diseases. The Company's management team and scientific advisors have profound expertise covering the discovery and development of specially engineered antibodies. Dren Bio's pipeline encompasses a multitude of programs from its two distinct, wholly-owned technologies. The Company's lead development candidate, DR-01, induces antibody-mediated killing of a specific cell type known to play a key role in various hematologic malignancies and autoimmune disorders. In addition to DR-01, the Company has launched multiple programs from its proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engager and Phagocytosis Platform, a bispecific antibody-based technology that offers a novel mechanism of action focused on selectively engaging myeloid cells (antigen presenting cells) for the targeted depletion of pathologic cells and other disease-causing agents.
