About The Position

Repertoire Immune Medicines is a clinical-stage biotechnology company harnessing the power of the human immune system to develop transformative therapies for cancer and autoimmune disease. Using its proprietary DECODE™ platform—which maps the immune synapse between T cell receptors (TCRs) and their antigen targets—Repertoire translates unique biological insights into potent and targeted off-the shelf immune medicines. The company integrates deep protein engineering expertise with artificial intelligence, powered by a proprietary DECODE database of over one billion TCR-antigen interactions, to accelerate discovery and optimize drug candidates. From its sites in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Zurich, Switzerland, Repertoire is advancing a pipeline of T cell-targeted immunotherapies with the potential to address a broad range of cancers and autoimmune disorders. The company’s lead oncology program, RPTR-1-201, a TCR bispecific, has initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial across multiple solid tumor indications. Repertoire plans to advance additional TCR bispecific therapies into clinical trials over the next 12-18 months. In autoimmune disease, Repertoire is partnering with leading pharmaceutical companies to develop mRNA tolerizing therapies designed to selectively expand regulatory T cells and reset the immune system. Repertoire was founded in 2019 by Flagship Pioneering and is supported by a strong investor base. The DECODE platform has been validated through four strategic partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies—Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Eli Lilly, and Pfizer—representing over $4.5 billion in disclosed total deal value and $185 million in upfront payments received to date.
