OUR POSTDOC PROGRAM SEEKS

The Next Generation
of Scientists

At Precigen, we are creating a unique scientific culture with the goal of pushing the boundaries of scientific research in the fields of immuno-oncology, in vivo pharmacology, translational immunology, and vaccine research in order to discover and develop new immunotherapeutic modalities that will improve outcomes for patients with cancers, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases.

A Unique Postdoc
Opportunity

Postdocs selected for our competitive program, located in Germantown, Maryland, will be eligible to receive a grant to continue their Precigen project in an appropriate academic setting of their choice. We are one of the first biotechnology, and the first synthetic biotechnology company to offer this type of grant. If selected, this postdoc program will provide experience and training in an industry setting that then potentially supports a path back to academia.

Our intent with this unique postdoctoral training model is simple. We believe that building long-term collaborative bridges between academic centers of excellence and biopharma will better serve patients by fostering a mindset of translational medicine.
