Careers
At Abintus, we are passionate about scientific excellence and the patients that we serve. Our name comes from the Latin words “ab intus”, which means “from within”. The founding team chose the name for three reasons:
Patients
We are driven and inspired by our vision: Empowering Patients From Within. We are pursuing products that are designed to directly empower patients’ own immune cells to fight their disease.
Science
Our world-class team is committed to scientific excellence. Our cutting-edge technologies have the potential to directly transform activated immune cells in situ, or from within.
Culture
Our ability to achieve our vision relies on each and every employee to contribute from within to build and shape our performance-driven culture.

We currently do not have any open positions but please contact us if you would like to join our world-class team and become part of our story.

The submission of referrals or resumes by anyone other than a candidate directly to Abintus employees is strictly prohibited. Unsolicited referrals and resumes sent to Abintus are deemed gratuitous, and the company will not be obligated or bound in any way to pay any referral or other fee if a person referred to us from a source other than a candidate is hired.
