About us
SILENCE DISEASE. AMPLIFY LIFE.™ Alnylam is a leading independent biopharmaceutical company and the pioneer in RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics – a revolutionary approach to treating diseases which “silences” the genes that cause or contribute to them. Founded in 2002 by a group of distinguished researchers and biotech leaders, Alnylam’s work over more than two decades has yielded the critical breakthroughs and advancements that have made the field of (RNAi) therapeutics possible. In 2018, our first commercial medicine, and the world’s first RNAi therapeutic was approved. Since then, four more Alnylam-developed medicines have been approved and we’re hard at work developing new therapies to treat both rare and prevalent diseases. We are a global and diverse company of 2,500+ people. We pride ourselves on fostering a fun, inclusive and dynamic work environment where employees can recognize their fullest potential. That's why we’re consistently ranked as a top employer by The Boston Globe (2015-24), Science Magazine (2018-24), Fast Company (Best Workplaces for Innovators 2020-24) and LinkedIn (2024).

Women's pain is often blamed on stress, hormones, or branded as "normal," which can lead to delayed diagnosis of serious conditions. That was the case for Donna, whose journey to a diagnosis of acute hepatic #porphyria (AHP) spanned over 10 years. Recognizing and investigating seemingly disparate symptoms such as those experienced by people with AHP can help patients like Donna regain control of their lives.

Sometimes, proteins your body makes can cause or contribute to disease. These proteins can be either be faulty, or healthy. RNAi therapeutics are a type of medicine, pioneered by Alnylam, that treats disease by targeting and disabling specific mRNA (messenger RNA) which tell your body how to make these unwanted proteins. #ScienceCurious to learn more about the science of #RNAi?
