About Panther
Panther is unlocking the power of the skin, the body’s largest, most responsive and universally accessible immune organ, to deliver better health for all. Panther’s proprietary dissolvable microneedle array patch (MAP) technology delivers minute doses of thermostabilized treatments to precise locations below the skin’s surface. There, the skin’s rich immune network activates systemic responses with improved efficacy and fewer side effects than current treatments. Panther’s solid-state treatments eliminate cold chain and sharps cost and complexity, and its user-centric engineering enables direct patient and clinician interactions.
Data from preclinical studies and early clinical trials in several disease areas (vaccines, allergies, cancer) support clinical translation and commercialization. Panther has licensed a comprehensive library of IP covering core technology and specific treatments. Beyond commercial success, Panther’s independent treatment development is intended to catalyze widespread adoption of Panther’s platform, which is open to any and all partners (Pharma, Biotech).
About the role

Panther will co-develop products with commercial partners where Panther will license its MAP platform..
