About the job
Zenas BioPharma is a pioneering biopharmaceutical company at the forefront of developing and commercializing transformative therapies for patients suffering from autoimmune diseases. Our strategic approach combines a seasoned leadership team with a rigorous process for acquiring and developing innovative product candidates globally. We are focused on delivering superior clinical benefits to patients affected by autoimmune disorders. We are advancing two late-stage flagship molecules: obexelimab and orelabrutinib. Obexelimab is our lead candidate, a bifunctional monoclonal antibody targeting CD19 and FcγRIIb, aimed at inhibiting the activity of pathogenic B cells without causing depletion. This innovative therapy offers a self-administered subcutaneous injection regimen, addressing chronic autoimmune diseases effectively. Orelabrutinib, on the other hand, is a highly selective oral small molecule Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor, designed to tackle compartmentalized inflammation and disease progression in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We also have promising earlier-stage programs, including a preclinical oral IL-17AA/AF inhibitor and a brain-penetrant TYK2 inhibitor.
We are on the lookout for exceptional talent who share our dedication to improving patient outcomes and possess a proven track record in global product acquisition, development, and commercialization. Joining Zenas provides an opportunity to thrive in a dynamic learning environment where individual and organizational success is paramount as we aspire to become a global leader in immunology and autoimmune disease management. Our core values, Transparency, Relationships, Urgency, Excellence, and Innovation, drive us toward TRUE Innovation!
