As a privately-owned, biopharmaceutical company, Ferring pioneers and delivers life-changing therapies that help people build families and live better lives. Our independence helps us cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit and long-term perspective that enables us to achieve growth and scale, while remaining agile and true to our 'people first' philosophy. Built on a 70-year plus commitment to science and research, Ferring is relentless in its pursuit of science that drives powerful discoveries and therapies to help people build families, stay healthy, and stand up to the world's oldest enemy: disease.
Our ambition is for our novel, first-in-class treatment for bladder cancer to become the new standard of care and backbone therapy for patients across the non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) disease spectrum. In 2024, our intravesical gene therapy achieved over 1,500 patients treated across the country at most major medical centers and community care centers. This exceptional first-year performance has made it among the top five best-selling gene therapies, and its uptake reflects a movement within the category toward innovative therapies and new hope for patients and their families.
Our Uro-Oncology team is expanding with a variety of rewarding opportunities in commercial, medical affairs and technical operations. If you are energized by the prospect of bringing the benefits of cutting-edge science to meet the needs of patients, we may have the perfect role for you.
