Scholar Rock is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing, and delivering transformative therapies for people with serious conditions that lack effective treatment options. As a global leader in the science of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily—and named for the way scholar rocks visually resemble protein structures—the clinical‑stage company focuses on advancing treatments driven by protein growth factors. Over the past decade, it has built a pipeline aimed at improving care for neuromuscular diseases, cardiometabolic disorders, cancer, and other conditions where growth factor‑targeted therapies may have significant impact.

Scholar Rock is the only company to demonstrate clinical proof of concept for a muscle‑directed therapy in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Its commitment to pioneering fundamentally new therapeutic approaches is fueled by broad application of its proprietary platform, which has created novel monoclonal antibodies capable of modulating protein growth factors with exceptional precision. By applying cutting‑edge science in disease areas historically underserved by traditional treatments, Scholar Rock strives daily to create new possibilities for patients.
