Material Handler - Day Shift
About The Position
More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a late-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks. With our purified, high-precision investigational cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives. The Material Handler - Day Shift ensures the efficient handling, storage and distribution of pharmaceutical materials and products for Orca’s cell therapy products, ensuring adherence to strict quality standards and regulatory requirements.
