More than 20,000 genes make us human. Genes control critical aspects of health and disease — but what controls our genes? Foghorn® Therapeutics ($FHTX) is developing therapies based on a system that directs which genes our cells express, and when, where, and in what order. By manipulating this system with our unique Gene Traffic Control™ platform, Foghorn will change how genes turn “on” and “off.” Unlike approaches that edit genes, this novel way of thinking will alter what our DNA has in store for us—and rewrite destiny for millions of people living with disease. With Gene Traffic Control™ Foghorn is pioneering a new, major class of drug targets to develop unprecedented therapies for cancer and other serious diseases. We have already validated multiple targets, are in the process of developing drug candidates in multiple types of cancer and are beginning to explore other diseases.

Blueprint Medicines is developing a new generation of highly selective and potent kinase therapies to dramatically improve the lives of patients with genomically defined diseases. Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the genetic blueprint of cancer and other diseases driven by the abnormal activation of kinases. Our ability to identify novel drivers of disease, coupled with our proprietary library of novel and diverse chemical compounds, uniquely enables us to craft kinase therapies against new and difficult-to-drug targets. We are boldly advancing a deep pipeline of highly targeted therapies against previously unaddressed drivers of disease. By focusing on genomically defined subsets of patients, we believe we can identify the people most likely to respond to our therapies, resulting in a more efficient clinical development path with a greater likelihood of success and better outcomes for patients. We see a substantial opportunity in kinase drug discovery and development to deliver breakthrough medicines that allow patients to live longer with better quality of life and prevent recurrences of disease. Kinases are involved in many hallmarks of tumor biology and are proven cancer drug targets. Currently approved drugs focus on less than 5 percent of known kinases, and the function of most kinases is unknown. Led by a team of industry innovators with a track record of bringing life-changing drugs to market, we believe Blueprint Medicines has the experience and expertise to deliver on the tremendous untapped potential of kinase therapies to improve patients’ lives. We don’t think in small steps. We think in giant leaps. We are driven by the pursuit of new ideas, new innovations, and new ways of thinking.
