Life At Xentria

Our Culture

Any business will have its days of dealing with the unknown: factors change, people must pivot, schedules don’t always go as planned. The question of culture becomes how people working together respond and adapt in the face of change, unpredictability and even adversity.

Xentria is a group of professionals with diverse talents yet similar minds in overcoming challenges. Achievement calls for swimming with the tide of transition rather than against it. We complete projects and goals by maintaining equal parts structure and flexibility in pursuing the desired outcome for patients. We also know and embrace that progress remains closer when team members are friendly, responsive and accessible to one another.

At Xentria, we can’t promise that one day will be just like the next – but we can ensure that whatever tomorrow brings, we’ll share the challenges and triumphs alike as a team.

Diversity & Inclusion

Located in the new Lincoln Yards development in Chicago, Xentria, Inc. is a biotech company focused on solving unmet clinical needs through meaningful patient engagement and novel scientific strategy.

We promote a culture of innovation, collaboration, inclusion and compassion. At all levels of the company, we are working to advance our diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) practices.

This starts with company-wide DEIA learning and education and continues with encouraging an inclusive environment. We value diverse perspectives, experience and ideas and continually review our policies and procedures to ensure fair treatment of our employees, our patients and our community.

Corporate Responsibility

We are committed to developing therapeutics that will solve unmet patient needs. We strive to do this in a sustainable way by establishing a value-based culture with a focus on our people and our community. We know that our people are our greatest assets, and we are proud to support their involvement in community initiatives and volunteering.
