OUR FOCUS
At Paragon Biosciences our philosophy is simple: start with what the patient needs, understand the science behind the disease and then launch companies completely focused on addressing unmet needs. After early-incubation, the companies we launch operate independently. Our approach accelerates the approval of important medicines.
More than 6,000 diseases today do not have a treatment available. We will make that number smaller, and help patients live longer, better lives.
“Challenges which others have deemed unsolvable are the problems we are solving.”
- JEFFREY S. ARONIN
