Scientist, 3D Cell Culture
resistanceBio
Who are we?
Treatment resistance is associated with 90% of all cancer deaths and is the primary driver of clinical trial failure. At resistanceBio, we build bespoke cancer models so that you know what resistance cancer is likely to develop to your drug or combination prior to a clinical trial.
You are…
Motivated to fight treatment-resistance cancer and want to help find therapies that can potentially change the lives of 545,000 patients in the US every year who run out of treatment options. You get to help solve the biggest problems in targeted and immuno-oncology therapies, map how solid and liquid cancers adapt to therapy, and discover strategies to delay or prevent therapy resistance by implementing the ResCu platform.
