Caribou Biosciences is a leading clinical-stage CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing transformative therapies for patients with devastating diseases. Our next-generation genome-editing technology enables superior precision to develop cell therapies that are armored to potentially improve antitumor activity. We believe the future of cell therapy is off-the-shelf, and we are advancing our pipeline of off-the-shelf, or allogeneic, cell therapies from our CAR-T platforms as readily available treatments for patients with hematologic malignancies autoimmune disease.
Members of the Caribou herd open their minds to new ideas and welcome diverse perspectives. We proudly assert that teams do their best work when their members are personally engaged, their ideas are taken seriously, and contributions are recognized. Members of the herd work from our headquarters in Berkeley, California, or remotely.
We are seeking a Bioinformatics Intern to support development of our cutting-edge cell therapies. This role offers hands-on experience working in a team environment to design and improve bioinformatics tools that guide our research efforts and improve outcomes for patients. The on-site position reports to a Principal Bioinformatics Scientist.
Depending Upon The Applicant's Qualifications, Projects Include
Caribou Biosciences is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered
We do not accept unsolicited resumes or candidate submissions from staffing agencies. Any resume submitted without a valid agreement in place will be considered unsolicited, and Caribou Biosciences will not be obligated to pay any referral or placement fee
