Overview
Alloy Therapeutics develops drug discovery platforms and runs research programs for biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical groups and academic scientists. Partners bring a disease target or an existing molecule, and its scientists design, build and test candidates using laboratory experiments alongside computational models. Customers license its technologies or contract for scientific services that carry programs from early discovery toward clinical development. Its work spans antibody-based medicines and genetic medicines, combining specialized biological tools with experimental research for partners that advance the resulting drug candidates. Founded in 2017, Alloy is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts.
