Manager/Sr. Manager, Training, Quality Systems

About the Company:

Dren Bio is a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery and development of first-in-class antibody therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other serious diseases. Leveraging our wholly owned technologies, we have built a robust R&D pipeline, including two clinical-stage candidates currently being evaluated across multiple ongoing clinical studies. Our lead clinical candidate, dibotatug, is designed to induce antibody-mediated killing of a specific cell type implicated in a range of oncology and autoimmune indications. In addition, we have launched multiple programs from our proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engager and Phagocytosis Platform, a multispecific antibody-based technology engineered to selectively engage a novel phagocytic receptor expressed on myeloid cells (antigen presenting cells) for the targeted depletion of pathologic cells and other disease-causing agents. Data generated using the platform support its broad therapeutic potential, including initial programs focused on oncology, immunology, and neurology. Importantly, multispecific antibodies generated from the platform are specially designed to activate phagocytic mechanisms only in the presence of disease targets, potentially offering a superior safety profile compared to other immunomodulatory therapies.
