Inside the Labs of AbbVie Stemcentrx

Soma Roy, an oncology scientist, gives the first virtual tour of AbbVie Stemcentrx where scientists work to target and eliminate cancer stem cells. Stem – as it's known those who work there – opened in 2008 and was acquired by AbbVie in 2016.

Oncology is a key therapeutic area for AbbVie, with a portfolio consisting of three marketed products — Imbruvica, Venclexta, and Empliciti — and a pipeline containing multiple promising new molecules that are being studied in nearly 200 clinical trials in 19 different types of cancer.

AbbVie is expanding its oncology hub on the West Coast, with three sites in the San Francisco Bay Area (Redwood City, South San Francisco, and Sunnyvale) focused on the discovery and development of novel oncology therapies. More than 1,000 AbbVie scientists, clinicians, and product developers with strong entrepreneurial roots work across these three sites. They combine their expertise in immuno-oncology, stem cells, and cell-signaling with their knowledge of bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and covalent-inhibitor technologies to discover and develop novel cancer treatments.This position will be based at Stemcentrx, AbbVie's South San Francisco, CA location.
