CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – April 12, 2019 – Casma Therapeutics, a biotechnology company harnessing the process of autophagy to design powerful new medicines, today announced that the company has been named a winner of the Best Places to Work award sponsored by the Boston Business Journal.
The Boston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work awards are designed to honor employers in the greater Boston area who go beyond the norm to foster a supportive, dynamic and meaningful work environment for their employees. Casma was honored in the “extra small” category, which covers companies with fewer than 50 employees.
“The strength of Casma’s science is embedded in the productivity of our team,” said Keith Dionne, Casma’s chief executive officer. “In the year since our launch, we have made it a top priority to ensure Casma is a nurturing, fun and invigorating place to work. This award is testament to those efforts, and we are delighted to be selected.”
The Boston Business Journal will recognize this year’s 79 honorees at an awards ceremony on June 19 at the World Trade Center in Boston. Honorees will also be featured in a special June 21 edition of the Boston Business Journal.
