The Company’s range of immunotherapy and cell therapy platforms, alone and together, act to drive and sustain an immune response with the goal of creating durable and safe protection against disease. Designated an FDA Breakthrough Therapy, ANKTIVA is the first FDA-approved immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer CIS that activates NK cells, T cells, and memory T cells for a long-duration response. The Company is applying its science and platforms to treating cancers, including the development of potential cancer vaccines, as well as developing immunotherapies and cell therapies that we believe sharply reduce or eliminate the need for standard high-dose chemotherapy. These platforms and their associated product candidates are designed to be more effective, accessible, and easily administered than current standards of care in oncology and infectious diseases. \nWhy ImmunityBio?\n\n ImmunityBio is developing cutting-edge technology with the goal to transform the lives of patients with cancer and develop next-generation therapies and vaccines that complement, harness and amplify the immune system to defeat cancers and infectious diseases.\n\n Opportunity to join a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company with headquarters in Southern California.\n\n Work with a collaborative team with the ability to work across different areas of the company.\n\n Ability to join a growing company with professional development opportunities.\nPosition Summary\nThe Scientist I, Analytical Development - Process Sciences will provide analytical support across ImmunityBio’s biologics platforms to advance our pipeline.
