Culture

It all starts with our employees. We are a team of tenacious, talented, passionate professionals aligned to our shared mission of improving the lives of people with debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised and/or declining. Our employees are dedicated to excellence, and while our expectations are high, the rewards are even higher.

We are committed to robust scientific thinking, grounded in integrity and critical thinking, and not polluted by politics or divisiveness. We invite healthy debate, test hypotheses, and encourage independent thought – all in service of improving patient health and humanity.

We seek problem solvers, scientific innovators and big thinkers to join us in our mission.
