About The Company
Beam Therapeutics, launched in 2018, is pioneering the use of CRISPR base editing to develop a broad portfolio of advanced genetic medicines. Our groundbreaking base editing technology allows us to make permanent, specific edits to single bases in DNA and RNA, without cutting the strands. Base editor therapeutics represent a new class of “precision genetic medicines,” combining precision targeting of the genome with precision control of editing outcomes. Our dream is to provide life-long cures for patients suffering from serious diseases. The Beam Team Is: • A community of fearless innovators • Rigorous and honest in our research • Listening with open minds • Committed to each other
About the Role
<div class="content-intro"><p></p> <p><strong>Company Overview:</strong></p> <p>Beam Therapeutics is a biotechnology company committed to establishing the leading, fully integrated platform for precision genetic medicines. To achieve this vision, Beam has assembled a platform with integrated gene editing, delivery and internal manufacturing capabilities. Beam’s suite of gene editing technologies is anchored by base editing, a proprietary technology that is designed to enable precise, predictable and efficient single base changes, at targeted genomic sequences, without making double-stranded breaks in the DNA. This has the potential to enable a wide range of therapeutic editing strategies that Beam is using to advance a diversified portfolio of base editing programs. Beam is a values-driven organization committed to its people, cutting-edge science, and a vision of providing life-long cures to patients suffering from serious diseases.</p> <p></p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Position Overview:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:120,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Beam is&nbsp;seeking&nbsp;a highly&nbsp;motivated student to join a dynamic team from&nbsp;July through December 2026.&nbsp;The Beam MS&amp;T team provides technical&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;for the&nbsp;tech&nbsp;transfer and&nbsp;GMP&nbsp;production of&nbsp;</span><em><span data-contrast="auto">ex vivo&nbsp;</span></em><span data-contrast="auto">and&nbsp;</span><em><span data-contrast="auto">in vivo&nbsp;</span></em><span data-contrast="auto">gene therapies&nbsp;at the RTP manufacturing facility.
