We are a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel, orally administered small-molecule therapeutics for obesity and related metabolic disorders, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease).

On March 2, 2026, we announced positive preclinical proof-of-concept data for ALN1003 from two separate studies using a standard diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model in male C57BL/6 mice maintained on a high-fat diet (60% of calories from fat).
