About us

Scholar Rock is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and delivers life-changing therapies for people with serious diseases that have high unmet need. As a global leader in the biology of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily of cell proteins and named for the visual resemblance of a scholar rock to protein structures, the clinical-stage company is focused on advancing innovative treatments where protein growth factors are fundamental. Over the past decade, the company has created a pipeline with the potential to advance the standard of care for neuromuscular disease, cardiometabolic disorders, cancer, and other conditions where growth factor-targeted drugs can play a transformational role. Scholar Rock is the only company to show clinical proof of concept for a muscle-targeted treatment in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This commitment to unlocking fundamentally different therapeutic approaches is powered by broad application of a proprietary platform, which has developed novel monoclonal antibodies to modulate protein growth factors with extraordinary selectivity. By harnessing cutting-edge science in disease spaces that are historically under-addressed through traditional therapies, Scholar Rock works every day to create new possibilities for patients.

  • We have resubmitted our BLA to the FDA for our investigational, muscle-targeted treatment, moving closer to delivering this potential new therapy to children and adults living with SMA. Our progress reaffirms the promise of myostatin biology as we continue to prioritize scientific advancement and the needs of the SMA community.

  • We’re headed to Budapest, Hungary for the 5th SMA Europe International Scientific Congress on Spinal Muscular Atrophy. We look forward to connecting with the global multidisciplinary community of scientists, researchers, and experts to exchange insights and foster discussions on the evolving SMA landscape. In addition to data presentations, we will participate in a symposium, join in on an interactive workshop, and connect with you at our booth.

  • Emily, a parent and caregiver in the #SMA community shares a powerful reminder that speaks to the heart of our #SeeMyAbilities campaign: we must look beyond a diagnosis and see the individual. Because laughter, personality, and joy aren’t defined by physical abilities — they’re expressions of who we are.

  • 1 in 50. That’s the number of people who are genetic carriers for spinal muscular atrophy. The 𝘚𝘔𝘕1 gene, or Survival Motor Neuron 1 gene, is responsible for creating the protein that enables muscle movements. While most people have two functioning copies of the 𝘚𝘔𝘕1 gene, having just one makes you a carrier for #SMA. Discover more about SMA and genetics, carrier testing, and survival motor neuron genes, visit https://lnkd.in/eQNGCYrE.
