Careers at Merus

Title

It all began more than sixteen years ago when a small, dedicated group of scientists decided to change the way we fight cancer. Today we continue to advance our novel approach to fighting cancer by activating one’s own immune system to kill tumor cells. With multiple therapeutic candidates in clinical trials and a robust array of preclinical candidates moving toward development, our dream is becoming a reality.

At Merus our goal is to help patients to overcome devastating diseases. Our values reflect the way we go about achieving our goal. They are a declaration both of who we are and who we want to be.
