Contract Executive Assistant/Office Manager

Earli is a BioAI therapeutics firm in Redwood City, California that programs cancer to turn against itself. Cancer cells become hyperlocal factories for potent immune therapies that are otherwise too toxic to be used systemically. Earli AI-designs synthetic genetic switches that are intravenously injected but ONLY activate in cancer cells, using non-integrating DNA in a stealth LNP. Once activated, they force the cancer cells to produce encoded proteins – T cell engagers, cytokines, agonists – that activate the immune system to kill the cancer. The hyperlocal activation avoids on-target/off-tumor effects and drives up the therapeutic index. Instead of focusing on where the drug goes, Earli changes where the drug is produced.
