Clinical Trial Associate
Dren Bio, Inc.
Job Description
Dren Bio is a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering thediscovery and development of first-in-class antibody therapeutics for the treatment ofcancer, autoimmune disorders, and other serious diseases. Leveraging our wholly ownedtechnologies, we have built a robust R&D pipeline, including two clinical-stage candidatescurrently being evaluated across multiple ongoing clinical studies. Our lead clinicalcandidate, dibotatug (also known as DR-01), is designed to induce antibody-mediated killingof a specific cell type implicated in a range of oncology and autoimmune indications.
Inaddition, we have launched multiple programs from our proprietary Targeted Myeloid Engagerand Phagocytosis Platform, a multispecific antibody-based technology engineered toselectively engage a novel phagocytic receptor expressed on myeloid cells (antigenpresenting cells) for the targeted depletion of pathologic cells and other disease-causingagents. Data generated using the platform support its broad therapeutic potential, includinginitial programs focused on oncology, immunology, and neurology. Importantly, multispecificantibodies generated from the platform are specially designed to activate phagocyticmechanisms only in the presence of disease targets, potentially offering a superior safetyprofile compared to other immunomodulatory therapies.
