We host many cross functional events where employees can socialize with and learn from colleagues who they otherwise may not interact with as part of their day-to-day work including:

  • Bi-annual Fate Science Fairs where employees educate their colleagues about posters presented at recent conferences
  • Monthly Educational Series highlighting a different department, project, or training subject each month
  • Lunch and Learns on a variety of topics including wellbeing and career development
  • Annual Immunotherapy Summit that brings together our esteemed academic collaborators, clinical and translational key opinion leaders, and Fate scientists to discuss recent advances, persistent challenges, and novel strategies for immunotherapy
  • All-employee social gatherings such as Game Days and Winter Holiday Parties
