WHO WE ARE

Driven to Change the World Together

“Passion” is a term that gets thrown around casually, but at a company whose mantra is “challenge accepted,” that has to ring true, and at Alnylam, it does. Ours is not a culture that accepts what is; rather, it thrives on the potential of what can be. Many of our peers create new therapies, but at Alnylam, we’ve created an entirely new class of medicines and are now just starting to recognize its potential.

If you’re ready to seize your moment and challenge what’s possible, it all starts here.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion focuses on each in relation to the other. Diversity means Alnylam reflects the world we live in. Equity ensures we are all treated fairly and with respect, no matter our differences. Inclusion ensures we all bring our authentic selves to work every day. Together, these focus areas ensure alignment with Alnylam’s core values and foster a sense of belonging for our employees.
