BRISBANE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mammoth Biosciences, Inc., a biotech company harnessing next-generation CRISPR technology to cure and detect disease, today announced its recognition as a BioSpace 2023 Best Place to Work in the small employer category, a testament to the company’s continuous commitment to its employees, culture, and mission.
The Best Places to Work list comprises 60 U.S. companies that have been recognized by BioSpace as the most sought after in the life sciences industry. The list demonstrates an organization's desirability in the recruitment marketplace based on the votes and ratings of thousands of life science community members. BioSpace considers each company’s merits with particular emphasis on culture, career growth, development opportunities, leadership, and innovation.
“This honor reminds us of the importance to uphold a culture that fosters workplace fulfillment, alongside our mission to serve patients through our CRISPR technology,” said Trevor Martin, Ph.D., Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mammoth Biosciences. “Our progress toward delivering on the promise of CRISPR and transforming patient lives reflects the incalculable, collective contributions from our immensely talented team.”
Utilizing its proprietary protein discovery, development, and engineering engine, Mammoth’s team of scientists and engineers continue to build an expansive, next-generation CRISPR technology portfolio by harnessing an array of novel CRISPR systems for uses in therapeutics, diagnostic, and beyond. Notably, the company spearheaded the development of ultracompact CRISPR systems, including the Cas14 and CasΦ families, which help enable the full potential of in vivo therapeutic genome editing to provide patients with permanent genetic cures. Mammoth is also a pioneer in diagnostic applications of CRISPR, enabling decentralized disease detection through the company’s DETECTRⓇ platform.
