Hear directly from our team members about what makes our company different:

• David Litvak – Associate Director, Technical Operations

• 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.

• KaiHsin Chang – Director, Ex Vivo Pharmacology

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.

• Carrie Marguiles – Scientist II, Discovery Biology

• I enjoy working at Editas Medicine because every day we are pushing to make therapies for patients while also learning a lot of basic science about CRISPR, a new and revolutionary gene editing system. The scientist in me enjoys making new discoveries about the intricacies of CRISPR while simultaneously developing it into new therapies.
