About Ensoma:
Ensoma is a place where you can ask the big questions. We look at gene therapy today and ask: What if we could eliminate the patient burden? What if we could treat diseases that affect millions? What if we could treat people anywhere around the world?
Ensoma was founded to answer these questions through our Engenious platform that can transform the hematopoietic (blood & immune) system with a single treatment. Our Engenious gene therapy platform is the first to precisely engineer any or all hematopoietic and immune cells with a one-time, off-the-shelf in vivo treatment. Engenious therapies have an unmatched capacity to deliver all modern genetic modification tools and set a new standard for versatile cell programming and control across a range of complex diseases. We believe the future of medicine lies within us – and this bigger, bolder vision for gene therapy needs incredible people to make it a reality.
For our team, realizing this vision is personal. Founded and guided by leaders drawn from the top of the cell and gene therapy field, we feel an urgency and passion for our work driven by its potential global impact.
A meeting at Ensoma is a space where curiosity, trust, authenticity, problem-solving, and professional development are celebrated. A career at Ensoma is an opportunity to be part of the team building the future of medicine.
