Clinical-stage biotech developing therapies for neurodegeneration, inflammation, and metabolic disease
Sironax is a clinical-stage biotech with three programs in human trials (SARM1, NAMPT, RIPK1 inhibitors) targeting aging-related pathology across neurodegeneration, inflammatory, and metabolic indications. The tech stack—GROMACS, Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, AWS, and in silico modeling—reveals a computational-first drug discovery operation, with active projects in AI/ML target prediction and antibody brain-delivery platforms. Leadership hiring (VPs, directors, Chief of Staff) and accelerating research recruitment signal a scaled transition from discovery into clinical development.
Notable leadership hires: Biologics Director, Chief of Staff, Clinical pharmacology Director, Clinical pharmacology director
Sironax, founded in 2017 and based in Waltham, Massachusetts, develops small-molecule and antibody therapies targeting contributors of aging and degeneration. The company is in active clinical development: SIR2501 (SARM1 inhibitor), SIR4156 (NAMPT activator), and SIR9900 (RIPK1 inhibitor) are enrolled in first-in-human and dose-ranging studies. The pipeline spans neurodegenerative, inflammatory, immunological, metabolic, and rare-disease indications. Operating footprint includes hiring across the United States, China, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The organization carries research-heavy operations (7 open roles in research) alongside clinical pharmacology and data functions.
