Scholar Rock is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing, and delivering therapies that can profoundly improve the lives of people with serious diseases that currently lack effective treatment options. As a global leader in the biology of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily—and named for the resemblance between scholar rocks and protein structures—the clinical-stage company focuses on creating innovative treatments rooted in the fundamental role of protein growth factors. Over the past decade, Scholar Rock has built a pipeline aimed at advancing care in neuromuscular diseases, cardiometabolic conditions, cancer, and other areas where targeting growth factors may drive meaningful change.

Scholar Rock is the only company to demonstrate clinical proof of concept for a muscle-targeted therapy in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Its commitment to pioneering new therapeutic strategies is fueled by broad use of a proprietary platform that produces highly selective monoclonal antibodies to modulate protein growth factors. By applying cutting-edge science to disease areas that traditional therapies have historically underserved, Scholar Rock works to create new possibilities for patients.
