In truly groundbreaking research, there is often a moment of clarity, a moment when it becomes clear that a discovery has the potential to transform science and medicine as we know it. This is the eureka moment upon which Alnylam was built.

From Possibility to Patients: The Scientific Odyssey—The Dark Ages

The Dark Ages

Alnylam faced many challenges in its early history. The dissolution of major partnerships led to turmoil and a loss of faith in the technology outside the walls of Alnylam. Within the company, there remained unwavering belief, continued focus, enthusiasm, and drive to make RNAi therapeutics a reality.
