Company
Since our founding in 1997, we have applied our scientific expertise in understanding the underlying causes of genetic conditions to create transformative medicines, using a number of treatment modalities.
Using our unparalleled expertise in genetics and molecular biology, we have developed eight important medicines for patients with significant unmet medical need. Our approved therapies treat achondroplasia, severe hemophilia A and several rare inherited and lysosomal storage diseases.
As we have looked to expand our impact, our approach to cutting-edge science has remained the same. We enlist the best of the best – people with the right technical expertise and a relentless drive to solve real problems – and create an environment that empowers our teams to pursue bold, innovative science. Our work is deeply rooted in genetic insights, meaning we target the underlying genetic changes or proximal molecular mechanisms of disease.
