Relay Therapeutics was founded on the premise that protein motion can be leveraged to create breakthrough medicines, with a drug discovery engine that was built on advances in detecting and characterizing dynamic interactions - anywhere on a protein – not just at the active site. Our team is putting this principle into practice, with the aim of accelerating the development of medicines that will make a transformative difference in patients’ lives. We don’t just stare hard problems in the face – we go out looking for them. Are you energized by attempting to do the impossible? We’re looking for you!
