- VISION
- Discovering and developing innovative medicines to conquer chronic or life-threatening diseases with high unmet needs
- MISSION
- Drugging the undruggable targets with small molecules and new chemical modalities
- Cyrus Therapeutics is a leading biotechnology company that is discovering and developing innovative medicines to conquer chronic or life-threatening diseases with high unmet needs. It is estimated that about 3,000 targets are ‘undruggable’ (about 16% of a total of 20,000 human proteins). We are committed to making our mission—‘drugging the undruggable targets’—possible with small molecule drugs as well as new chemical modalities such as targeted protein degraders.
