DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Our success depends on the status-quo challengers, both the visionaries and the creators. Beating cancer requires a dynamic perspective, which is why we not only welcome diversity, we seek it.

We are proud that our industry organization, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), also recognizes the importance of diversity. We stand committed to internalizing the principles they set forth, and agree that:

  • Diversity in all aspects of business operations will optimize the continued growth and success of the biotechnology industry
  • Championing workforce development, diversity and inclusion is the best way to attract, develop and retain the employee talent pool within the globally competitive biotechnology industry
  • We will incorporate diversity and inclusion into all aspects of our operations
  • We need to lead by example and be outward-facing in our diversity efforts, including with our external partners in order broaden the promotion of diversity

In addition to diversity and inclusion, we value:

  • Science that brings meaningful results to patients
  • Healthy debate and a sense of humor
  • Empowerment, decisiveness and making progress happen
  • Transparency and honesty

What gets measured, gets managed. As part of a comprehensive approach to diversity, equity and inclusion at Nkarta, we rely on data to identify gaps, set priorities and enable ongoing measurement of our progress. We publish these data in the spirit of shared responsibility and accountability.
