What Alnylam Pharmaceuticals does

Pioneer of RNA-interference (RNAi) drugs, selling Onpattro/Amvuttra for ATTR amyloidosis and other genetic diseases.

Sells its own RNAi medicines, led by Amvuttra for ATTR amyloidosis, a buildup of misfolded protein that damages nerves and the heart, and has built its income by widening that drug's approved uses. Its technology is a platform that can be aimed at new targets, which is why it also has partnerships with larger drugmakers such as Roche and Regeneron.
