Exelixis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (EPI) is a rapidly growing, well-funded, privately held
biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to identify novel therapeutic targets for
drug discovery by elucidating the biochemical pathways involved in human diseases.
Our current research programs are focused on metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative
diseases, and oncology. We use a combination of invertebrate genetics (C. elegans and
Drosophila), genomics, and vertebrate biology to identify key molecules in the
pathways contributing to these disease states. EPI is also committed to developing new
approaches to the control of agricultural pest species. We are applying our core
technology in genetics and genomics to the discovery of specific targets for crop
protection and animal health. We currently have openings for talented individuals to
join our dynamic team.
