A Snapshot of Nimbus
Our Science
At Nimbus, we design breakthrough medicines. Utilizing our powerful structure-based drug discovery engine, we create potent and selective small molecule compounds targeting proteins that are known to be fundamental drivers of pathology in highly prevalent human diseases and which have proven difficult for other drug makers to tackle. With a decade-plus track record of success, we've built a world-class team in both computationally driven drug discovery and early clinical development while continuing to move the needle for patients.
