About The Position

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a commercial stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. The company utilizes a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery to trigger the RNA interference mechanism for rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. Arrowhead's RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing. The company is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins involved in disease. Arrowhead's technologies enable the potential to address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is a leader in bringing RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, with a clinical pipeline including disease targets in the liver and lung, and a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates. Arrowhead's corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA, with research and development teams in Madison, WI & San Diego, CA, and a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Verona, WI. Their employees are described as nimble, science-driven innovators collaborating to bring new therapies to patients in need.
