Over the past ten years, Scholar Rock has built a pipeline aimed at redefining treatment standards in neuromuscular diseases, cardiometabolic conditions, cancer, and other areas where targeting growth factors can have a significant impact.

Scholar Rock is the only company to demonstrate clinical proof of concept for a muscle-specific therapy in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
