We engineer the best drug candidates by applying high-throughput screening systems and optimization techniques.
Science
Leveraging cutting-edge science and technology to identify and propel best-in-class biologics to the clinic.
Paragon employs a breadth of protein engineering technologies to perform biologics discovery and optimization. We have built a team of exceptional leaders in drug discovery and development who work with top-tier partners to develop transformative programs.
Pipeline
Fueling a pipeline of best-in-class therapies for a range of diseases.
Our business model centers on bringing therapies to patients as rapidly as possible—once a program or set of programs achieves significant progress, we enable their advancement to the clinic by launching spinout companies, engaging in partnerships with other biopharma companies, or continuing to shape their development in-house at Paragon. Our product pipeline demonstrates our progress, with the leading program on track to enter clinical trials in 2023—less than two years from its ideation.
