At Adicet (Nasdaq: ACET), we are defined by our mission to deliver best-in-class gamma-delta T cell therapies for patients fighting autoimmune diseases and cancer. Every one of our team members, whether in the lab, manufacturing, or general business role, comes to work every day with the patient in mind. As pioneers in the cell therapy space, we are honored and humbled by the opportunity to put our talents to bear in developing transformative therapies to defeat autoimmune diseases and cancer. We believe that the best way to do this is through discovering and developing allogeneic gamma-delta T cell therapies, a novel type of cell therapy. Adicet has chosen the gamma-delta T cell because it: • Preferentially traffics to tissues and provides B cell depletion, potentially leading to an immune reset for patients with autoimmune diseases. • Has multiple ways to target and kill cancer cells including solid tumors. We also chose to use cells from donors (allogeneic) to enable our potential therapies to be readily available when needed (taken “off-the-shelf” or available to the patient on demand). We’re not just blazing new trails in cell therapy, we’re having fun along the way. With regular team gatherings, many shared meals, larger company events, and a consistent commitment to our values, we have a strong culture! We are proud to attract and retain some of the greatest talent in the biopharma and cell therapy space, and we’re consistently giving back to our employees. The Adicet benefits package includes generous financial compensation, comprehensive health plans, generous paid time-off, educational reimbursement, and access to many amenities in our state-of-the-art facility.

Sangamo Therapeutics is a genomic medicine company conducting research & development across four distinct but complementary technology platforms – gene therapy, cell therapy, in vivo genome editing, and in vivo genome regulation. The optionality and diversity inherent to Sangamo’s technology platform enables us to design therapeutic approaches to resolve the underlying genetic causes of disease, using whichever technology is best suited to deliver that treatment. Because Sangamo’s technology platforms are related, we are applying learnings across studies to optimize each individual platform and uncover research and development paths forward. Sangamo is best known for developing our proprietary gene editing technology, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs). Our technology team continues to optimize ZFNs for the three key dimensions of genome editing: precision, efficiency, and specificity. Ex vivo gene-edited cell therapy is the most straightforward application of ZFN technology. It builds on early experience with HIV clinical studies and is applied to hematological disorders and oncology. Our cell therapy portfolio also includes ex vivo engineered regulatory T-cells (CAR-Tregs) for application in autoimmunity and inflammation. The insights gained about molecular biology, cassette engineering, and delivery through in vivo application of ZFNs led to our gene therapy program using AAV, which is advancing in the clinic. Zinc finger protein engineering and AAV delivery are also foundational for our zinc finger protein-transcription factor (ZFP-TF) genome regulation technology, which we are applying in CNS diseases. With our robust history of genomic medicine firsts, unmatched technology platform, and growing manufacturing and clinical development capabilities, Sangamo believes we are the company to realize the vision of genomic medicine.
