<p>At Clasp Therapeutics, we are revitalizing immuno-oncology's promise with next-generation T cell engagers (TCEs). Our novel TCE therapeutics enable a patient's T cells to identify and specifically destroy tumor cells with absolute precision. Our medicines' high level of precision and specificity essentially eliminate the likelihood of on-target off-tumor toxicities that have occurred with other TCEs. We have targeted our molecules to hard-to-treat tumors bearing common cancer driver mutations. Our specific platform structure targets mutated protein fragments, or peptides, that are displayed by specialized HLA and are designed to draw T cells into close contact with tumor cells. The resulting immune synapse is highly similar to a natural HLA molecule-T cell receptor interface with a high level of sensitivity, triggering T cells to destroy tumor cells. This approach enables a highly genetically selective paradigm where every patient has the opportunity to respond to treatment.</p> <p>Founded in 2020, we are focused on bringing the outstanding science from our world-class founders to patients. In 2023, Clasp closed a $150 million Series A financing round led by Catalio Capital Management, Third Rock Ventures, and Novo Holdings. Clasp has created a vibrant culture with people who are committed to our mission in both our Cambridge, MA, and Rockville, MD sites.</p> <p>Title: Corporate Development Intern</p> <p>Reports to: CBO</p> <p>Location: Cambridge, MA</p> <p>Position Summary</p> <p>We are seeking an MBA candidate with a strong foundation in life sciences strategy consulting, banking, or drug development to join our corporate development team as an intern.
