Ichnos Sciences Biotherapeutics SA

The spirit of a start-up. The experience of an established biotech. Ichnos (‘ik-noz) Sciences—a name taken from an ancient Greek word for “footprint”—is shifting how the world thinks about innovation in medicine. With a holistic approach to the research, discovery, and development of breakthrough therapies in oncology and autoimmune disease, we bring the courage and passion to take scientific risks and pursue the greatest of challenges.

Based in the U.S., Ichnos Sciences also has two sites in Switzerland, a biological R&D center in Lausanne and a GMP manufacturing and process sciences center in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Our Swiss operations focus on the discovery and development of novel biological entities and drugs, including monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibodies that are based on our proprietary technology platform, BEAT® (Bispecific Engagement by Antibodies based on the T cell receptor).

We currently have three biologics in clinical development, ranging from Phase 1 to Phase 2b, plus multiple discovery programs. With the molecules and drugs in our pipeline, we are seeking new answers to create life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and autoimmune disease.

Our work is rooted in purpose and aimed at progress. Ichnos Sciences is fast-paced, forward-looking and visionary—a company where science, creativity, and a diversity of ideas thrive. We move quickly and nimbly, working together, challenging and supporting one another and ourselves to go further, look deeper, take scientific risks, shift perspectives, and drive forward the scientific advances that will leave an imprint on the world around us.

We are looking for highly motivated people who thrive on being challenged and working in an agile, collaborative and multicultural environment. If you are intrigued by the idea of joining our multidisciplinary discovery team, and would like to play a key role in advancing rigorous, cutting-edge science, we invite you to join us.

Because cure is possible.

What works well?

Ichnos is a very dynamic company with a rewarding and positive environment, great values and behaviours are in place with clear objectives and goals. The management values and recognises achievements by all employees which makes it a great company to work for and offers great opportunities for development. The science and technology are cutting edge with very promising impact for patients.

What could be improved?

The visibility of the company is not there yet, some progress with international presentations that could be advertised on different social media platforms to increase visibility.

Ichnos (the Biopole site) is a place where I could express my potential. It is a place where you can do great science and seeing it moving from the bench to the clinical insight in first person. This is really rewarding. In addition the group of discovery is very international and young, giving the perfect opportunity to grow in what I think is the best profession ever. Thanks to Ichnos to make this possible!

What could be improved?

Unfortunately, given the COVID situation, the social activities are limited. I think that, as soon as the situation allows, we should organize more social events to boost further the community spirit.

Nice view from the lab Good bridge from science to start a career in politic field

What could be improved?

Ichnos sciences is defined itself by “a transformative company with a vision black and white with key values : high performance, forward thinking” Maybe they can change with the correct ones : toxic environment [incompetence etc….. This company is clearly just focused on politics and on personal interests. The big layer of manager people is not in Ichnos to drive science and manage people but just for not taking decision, create rivalry between teams and passing the buck to protect themselves. Toxic and incompetent employees are valued and thanked because they belittle and they do bullying on other people. You can’t be happy in this compagny if you just want to do science and find a cure for patients. Lot of projects change all the time without clear communication and let people manage it alone. Management and HR people blind eye on policy when it is benefit for them and call that accountability, when it is not the case they chase people. HR people take time to write fake comments but they don’t think about the way to write them to be credible. Lot of people who are working in ichnos are in the company for less than one year because all previous employee resigned (or looked for job for the remaining person). The salary are low
