Who We Are

Alpine Immune Sciences is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing innovative, protein-based immunotherapies. Formed in 2014, we have created and advanced multiple product candidates into clinical trials for inflammatory/autoimmune diseases and cancer, formed collaborations with world-class partners, and built a robust development pipeline.

Our scientific platform consists of unique protein engineering strategies, including the directed evolution of immune proteins into novel, multi-targeted therapeutics. With such differentiated candidates, we hope to improve outcomes in patients with cancer and severe inflammatory/autoimmune diseases.

Our employees (Alpinists) are passionately committed to creating new therapies for patients living with cancer and inflammatory/autoimmune diseases. We believe in innovative thinking, collaboration, flexibility, bias for action, and healthy debate. To foster our team of outstanding scientists and business professionals, we provide a premier work environment with a state-of-the-art lab and office spaces with inspiring views and an open design to facilitate teamwork. Our job listings are available below.

At Alpine, we strive to create a safe, respectful, and inspiring environment in which our team members engage openly and honestly with each other, bringing their work and life experiences to the table.

We seek to lead the next evolution of immunotherapies powered by the diversity of our therapeutic libraries and approaches.
