Precision therapies for
genetically defined diseases

Who We Are

Cogent Biosciences is a biotechnology company developing real solutions to treat genetically driven diseases. With a focus on the design of rational precision therapies, we are leveraging validated biology to address the true underlying drivers of disease and provide real hope for patients.

Millions of people around the world are living with a genetically defined disease.
Mutations can create a ripple effect in the body to trigger illness – cancers, autoimmune conditions, and rare diseases.

There still exists a significant unmet need to extend survival and improve the quality of life for patients.

At Cogent, we start with the end in mind – with the goal of delivering meaningful therapies that improve human health. We focus on diseases where the cause is well understood and is directly linked to a genetic mutation, providing a path forward to develop novel precision therapies.

We have built a world-class discovery organization in Boulder, Colorado, focused on pioneering best-in-class, small molecule therapeutics to improve upon existing drugs with clear limitations and safety concerns, with the goal of creating new breakthroughs for diseases where others have been unable to find adequate solutions.

Cogent is driven by the patients we serve and committed to the opportunity to deliver novel precision therapies to patients with unmet medical needs. We are a Company of people who are passionate and dedicated to turning the promises of our therapies into reality in order to transform the lives of patients.
