    Description

    Who we are:


    Kymera is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the field of targeted protein degradation (TPD) to develop medicines that address critical health problems and have the potential to dramatically improve patients' lives.

    Having advanced the first degrader into the clinic for immunological diseases, Kymera is focused on delivering oral small molecule degraders to provide a new generation of convenient, highly effective therapies for patients with these conditions.

    Kymera is also progressing degrader oncology programs that target undrugged or poorly drugged proteins to create new ways to fight cancer.

    Founded in 2016, Kymera has been recognized as one of Boston's top workplaces for the past several years.
