SILENCE DISEASE. AMPLIFY LIFE.™ Alnylam is a leading independent biopharmaceutical company and the pioneer in RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics – a revolutionary approach to treating diseases which “silences” the genes that cause or contribute to them. Founded in 2002 by a group of distinguished researchers and biotech leaders, Alnylam’s work over more than two decades has yielded the critical breakthroughs and advancements that have made the field of (RNAi) therapeutics possible. In 2018, our first commercial medicine, and the world’s first RNAi therapeutic was approved. Since then, four more Alnylam-developed medicines have been approved and we’re hard at work developing new therapies to treat both rare and prevalent diseases. We are a global and diverse company of 2,500+ people. We pride ourselves on fostering a fun, inclusive and dynamic work environment where employees can recognize their fullest potential. That's why we’re consistently ranked as a top employer by The Boston Globe (2015-24), Science Magazine (2018-24), Fast Company (Best Workplaces for Innovators 2020-24) and LinkedIn (2024).
