About Us

Our name, 2seventy bioTM, is inspired by the maximum speed of translating human thought into action — 270 miles per hour. At 2seventy bio, we think in the language of time. It’s about timeTM we endeavor to outmaneuver cancer so the people we serve can have the chance for MORE…more time building stories with families and friends, experiencing their passions, and living their best lives in the big and small moments. Too many have lost time to cancer and we are wildly impatient to help change that.

It’s about time is also the restlessness we have to change the status quo and challenge ourselves to look at things from different perspectives. And we know that it’s about time we change our workplaces into human places that allow us to dream big, devise solutions, and deliver new therapies that are designed with the goal to "think" smarter and faster than cancer.

At 2seventy bio, we have the benefit of time and experience that we apply to our endeavors. We carry with us a legacy of deep care for patients and our people, thought leadership, learnings, and scientific expertise from our gene therapy and oncology roots. We build upon this strong foundation with our extensive knowledge in cell therapy, our expanding and robust research pipeline, and our vast experience across the continuum of drug development and commercialization.

And our time spent with collaborators is crucial. We work closely with patients, care partners, advocacy organizations, healthcare professionals, academic, and industry partners because we know we’re better together. It is this mindset and approach that will propel us forward because we know that time matters — every day, every minute, every second — to people living with cancer.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

At 2seventy bio, we believe that it’s about time that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging become more than words. It is the core practice we are driven by in all we create. From our focus on patients, to how we are building our business and our culture, we believe diversity and belonging empower us to change the way we think, teach, and learn — from each other and about each other. Our mission is rooted in the belief that our cumulative and unique differences enable us to become better — better at our development of revolutionary scientific advancements and how we advance health equity by addressing cancer disparities with a goal of creating transformative treatments for those who need them. We strive to build an environment where we will deliver our best — that means having the hard conversations and doing the hard work — so we can all be unencumbered and inspired to celebrate who we are fully as human beings.

Compliance & Ethics

At 2seventy bio, we carry with us a legacy of deep care for patients, our people, and doing what is right by them. We ensure transparency in all areas of our business, conduct ourselves at all times as outlined in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and hold ourselves accountable to meet expectations as a partner in this field – because we know we can’t do this alone.
