About CTMC

CTMC (Cell Therapy Manufacturing Center), a joint venture between Resilience and MD Anderson Cancer Center, is a first-of-its-kind biotech located in the world-renowned Texas Medical Center created to accelerate cell therapies moving from research to patients. CTMC develops and manufactures cell therapies invented at MD Anderson, as well as biotechs, including a variety of modalities such as CAR-T, TIL, ETC and TCR-T. We aim to file 4 INDs in the first 12 months as we work closely with MDACC research and clinical faculty to bring impactful cell therapies to cancer patients. Our partnership with National Resilience, an ambitious biomanufacturing organization that has raised $2 billion in their first two years gives CTMC access to advanced technology and processes and enables us to stay at the cutting edge of biomanufacturing practices. Through the capabilities within CTMC and our alliance with MD Anderson Cancer Center and National Resilience, we co-develop cell therapy products with biotech companies and help them industrialize and accelerate their innovative therapeutics to reach the clinic quicker and ultimately maximize patient impact.

CTMC is housed in a state-of-the-art 60,000sqft development and manufacturing facility in the Texas Medical Center with an integrated team of 75 industry veterans and scientists with a depth of cell therapy expertise. The unique structure of our joint venture with two highly established partners gives the organization financial stability and a long-term horizon, despite the current environment of funding uncertainty in the biotech field. Our broad scope and novel corporate structure allow employees a plethora of development opportunities for members of our team. We are passionate about aggressively bringing life-saving cures to patients and achieving it through a cohesive team-first culture and balanced work-life environment for our staff. If you feel you can contribute to our mission and be part of a newly imagined biotech, we welcome your application.
