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.

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.
