With a pipeline of clinical and preclinical programs and a seasoned leadership team, Empirico is positioned to advance a new generation of precision therapeutics.

Respiratory DiseasesCommon Diseases

Technology Platform

Integrated platform combining human genetics-driven computational target discovery with world-class siRNA chemistry and drug development capabilities to create medicines that mimic protective genetic variants.

Opportunities

The partnership with GSK provides validation, funding, and a path to market for its lead respiratory program.
The large and growing markets for siRNA therapeutics in common chronic diseases represent multi-billion dollar opportunities.
The expansion of human genetic datasets continues to fuel the discovery of novel, high-confidence targets.

Risk Factors

Clinical failure of the lead or other pipeline programs remains a primary risk.
The company operates in the highly competitive fields of genetics and RNA therapeutics against well-established players.
As a private, pre-revenue company, it is dependent on raising capital and achieving partnership milestones to fund operations.

Competitive Landscape

Empirico competes with established public RNAi companies like Alnylam and Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, as well as other genetics-driven biotechs such as Regeneron Genetics Center spin-outs and large pharma internal efforts. Its differentiation lies in the tight integration of its genetics and siRNA platforms from discovery through development.
