Our Destination – ‘Relentless Medicine Discovery’

What’s needed is Tangram Therapeutics.

We are committed to uniting computation, RNAi, and unconventional thinking to make better medicines faster. Leveraging our LLibra OS AI platform and GalOmic RNAi chemistry platform, we identify novel gene targets and develop differentiated GalNAc-siRNA therapies that will make a meaningful difference to patients. It’s discovery primed for real-world drug development.

Our Journey – ‘Expediting exploration through unconventional thinking’

Tangram is made up of relentless explorers. People that thrive in a culture of innovation. Collaborators who make sense of complex patterns. Humans that actually care about expediting the discovery of promising drugs. To drive real change in our lifetime.

In joining us, you’ll be part of a team that refuses to accept limits. We move fast, think differently, and work together to uncover the breakthroughs that matter most. Here, curiosity is encouraged, ideas are valued, and your work will help shape the future of biotech in ways that make a tangible difference.
