Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company, which engages in the discovery and development of small molecule therapeutics that degrade disease-causing proteins. The company is headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts and currently employs 188 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2020-08-21. The firm is focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule therapeutics that selectively degrade disease-causing proteins by harnessing the body’s own natural protein degradation system. The firm's targeted protein degradation (TPD) platform, which it refers to as Pegasus, allows it to discover highly selective small molecule protein degraders with activity against disease-causing proteins throughout the body. The company utilized its Pegasus platform to design novel protein degraders focused in the areas of immunology-inflammation and oncology, and it continues to apply its platform’s capabilities to additional therapeutic areas. Its clinical stage programs are IRAK4, STAT3, and MDM2, which each address high impact targets within biologically proven pathways, providing the opportunity to treat a range of immuno-inflammatory diseases, hematologic malignancies, and/or solid tumors.
