Our Mission

Outpace Bio is creating cell therapies with curative potential through protein design & cellular engineering.

We are scientists, engineers, coders & cell therapy developers who are reimagining how cells function.

We work at the intersection of computational protein design, machine learning, synthetic biology, cellular engineering & immunology.

Our Culture

Are you ready to help us unleash the power of cells to cure?

Our culture is built on a foundation of respect and inclusion, which are fundamental to how we collaborate to revolutionize cell therapy through groundbreaking innovation rooted in rigorous science.

The Outpace Values Arch represents the
integral relationship between these core values
that guide our company culture.

Our Headquarters

We are located in the newly constructed Dexter Yard campus, at the center of Seattle’s growing biotech sector. With over 20,000 square feet of space dedicated to our cell therapy research hub, the facility also includes a field house with an indoor/outdoor sports court, a pub and rooftop decks overlooking scenic Lake Union.

Get Directions

"When we founded Outpace we thought really carefully about what our core values are and why they're meaningful. As we thought about what mattered most, we realized the foundation for everything else was respect and inclusion. You cannot have collaboration without them and they both allow great science and innovation to happen."

Leah Tait

Translational Immunology

"This is an extremely smart group of people who know their science backwards and forwards but we're also very inclusive of people's ideas and thoughts and that's been really nice to see - especially for the younger scientists - seeing how nurturing people are of their careers and trying to bring them up."

Rupesh Amin

Translational Immunology

"If I could be any animal, I would be a sloth and that's because while I do work hard, sometimes I think it's very important to slow down and relax in order to move forward."

Sean Merillat

Biocontrol

“Outpace’s core value of collaboration speaks to me the most because by relying on everyone's unique strengths, we're able to go further than we could alone and make a real difference in patients’ lives.”

Michelle Lissner

Translational Immunology

“Genuinely, one of our cytokine engineering experiments is the most clever synthetic biology project that I've ever seen.”

Joe DeSautelle

Synthetic Biology & Biophysics

"If I could be an animal, I would probably be an owl because they're my favorite animals and they're really cute, but they also can be pretty ferocious."

Vanessa Montoya

Translational Immunology

"I believe we do top notch science here at Outpace. We work with integrity and are really pushing the boundaries of what we can do in the lab."

Paul Sample

Computational & Structural Biology

"If I could be any animal I would be a crow. I think crows are really underrated. They have kind of a bad rap, but they're highly intelligent and they can fly, which is great because I hate traffic."

Jason Yokoyama

Translational Immunology

“We respect each other so that we can talk as equals and come to an understanding of our data collaboratively. And inclusion's particularly important because I need to be able to come to work and say, “Hey, I went to the park with my boyfriend this weekend.” If I can't do that, how am I going to be able to talk honestly about science? I really feel like I can come to Outpace as my full self.”

Bobby Langan

Computational & Structural Biology

"If I could be any animal, I would want to be a fruit bat because I just really love fruit. That's the main reason...although I also think it would be cool to experience echolocation."

Tina Tan

Translational Immunology

“Collaboration and good teamwork is critical to the success of any company, and I've seen people here at Outpace really come together and do some miraculous things…I love working with a team of incredibly creative, energetic, and friendly people.”

Jen Running Deer

R&D Operations

"I personally value respect and inclusion the most and in our Outpace values arch those are the foundation for a reason. Without people living up to those basic values every day those higher goals of innovation just wouldn't be possible."

Work with us

At Outpace, we know that the high-performing teams include people from a wide variety of backgrounds. We are committed to building an open, diverse, and inclusive culture for all employees.

Recognizing that the best candidates do not always match all criteria of the job description, we encourage you to apply if you think you would be a good fit for the role and are inspired by our mission to cure disease by pushing the boundaries of biology.

Open Positions

Outpace is a founding member of OpenFold, the leading consortium for AI-powered protein research. As leaders in open innovation, we ensure our platform continues to be powered by the best ideas from the frontiers of science.

Outpace and Lyell are collaborating to unlock the biology of IL-12, a cytokine that the companies believe has the potential to dramatically improve efficacy in treating patients with cancer, but would require careful control to avoid systemic toxicity.

We collaborate with biochemist & computational biologist David Baker at UW to access new machine learning algorithms for our protein design capabilities.
