Navigating What’s Next in Autoimmune Therapy with Science of All Minds

Breakthrough science, collaboration and a shared ambition to transform the practice of medicine for autoimmune disease are the hallmarks of Kyverna’s corporate culture.

Core Values

The Bedrock of Our Organization

Bring Intellectual Rigor

We ask thoughtful questions to respectfully advance breakthrough innovations, guide decision-making and deliver measurable, meaningful results.

Elevate Each Other

We own our actions and collaborate with positive intent to advance programmatic initiatives that support our goals.

Stay True to Why

We bring integrity and empathy to our bold mission and collective cause of fulfilling a vast unmet patient need.

Cultural DNA

Kyverna is a different kind of place, where people of diverse scientific, industry and cultural backgrounds are working together to develop medicines that navigate complex territory – the human immune system. Our mandate is bold: to create a new class of living cell therapies to treat the underlying cause of autoimmune disease. This requires an interdisciplinary team that brings a range of scientific expertise – synthetic biology, immunology, advanced cell engineering and drug development capabilities – and an appetite for exploring and creating the unknown. Our commitment to employees is to foster an open, supportive and inclusive environment where we create opportunities for individuals and scientists at every level to learn and grow as people and professionals.

Our Credo

Navigating What’s Next in Autoimmune Therapy with Science of All Minds

We are a diverse team bringing trailblazing science to engineer and develop curative living medicines for the most devastating autoimmune diseases.

We are driven by the staggering unmet need for alternatives to existing therapies that may not be effective, or with chronic use can leave patients susceptible to opportunistic infections and malignancies.

We will transform treatment of autoimmune disease to free patients from the siege of their own immune systems.

Soo, Research - Immunology

“I used to work for the Ministry of Health, and in that experience I saw firsthand the difficulty of being sick without access to or hope for a cure. At Kyverna, I’m energized by the potential to make an impact on the lives of people living with autoimmune disease.”
