• The tremendous and rigorous scientific endeavors we undertake combined with the brilliant, passionate, and compassionate colleagues we work with every day, and the open and empowering culture espoused by our leaders makes coming to work a joy. Whether it’s over a heated ping-pong match, while eating a chilled pasta salad at team-lunch, or in a conference-room parsing through large amounts of data to drive development of medicines to make a difference in the lives of patients, I genuinely enjoy interacting with and learning from fellow Editors.

Something I’ve also appreciated about working at Editas is the level of support we receive from our leadership, who stay close to our science and are attentive and receptive to our feedback. Everyone here has a voice no matter their level in the organization.

It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of state-of-the-art projects and simultaneously hone my technical, interpersonal, and critical thinking skills.
