Make an impact in patients' lives
From the moment of our founding we knew that we could transform the biopharmaceutical industry. We had the right people, the right science, and the unwavering commitment to bring about a new approach to drug discovery and development that would deliver innovative treatments to patients where no others had proven effective or ever existed.
Ionis is where passionate, driven people come together to help patients in need. Our success is a direct result of our outstanding employees.
Located in the North San Diego County city of Carlsbad, we’re an industry leader in the discovery and development of antisense drugs. Our work environment is challenging, motivating, rewarding, and designed to foster innovation and scientific excellence.
If you have this same commitment to be a force for life and feel that Ionis is right for you, we want to hear from you.
