Clinical-stage biotech developing antibody therapeutics for autoimmune diseases
Viridian is a public biopharmaceutical company advancing multiple clinical candidates—primarily VRDN-001 (IV) and VRDN-003 (subcutaneous) for thyroid eye disease, plus a portfolio of FcRn inhibitors for broader autoimmune indications. The tech stack reflects a transitional biotech: clinical-grade analytics (SAS, R, CDISC, JMP, GraphPad Prism) paired with commercial-stage infrastructure (Veeva for CRM and safety, Tableau/Power BI for reporting, Kubernetes for deployment). Hiring is sales-heavy (102 roles) and decelerating, aligned with active projects centered on first commercial launch and buildout of a field-facing commercial organization—typical of a company moving from development into commercialization.

Viridian Therapeutics is a public biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, focused on antibody discovery and protein engineering for serious and rare autoimmune diseases. The company is advancing two global Phase 3 trials (THRIVE and THRIVE-2) evaluating VRDN-001 as an intravenous therapy for thyroid eye disease, with VRDN-003 in development as a subcutaneous follow-on candidate. Beyond TED, Viridian is developing a pipeline of neonatal Fc receptor inhibitors (VRDN-006, VRDN-008) with potential across multiple autoimmune indications. The organization operates across 51–200 employees in the United States, with infrastructure spanning clinical operations, regulatory/safety compliance (Veeva), and early commercial buildout.
Two Phase 3 programs for thyroid eye disease (VRDN-001 as IV therapy, VRDN-003 as subcutaneous), plus a portfolio of FcRn inhibitors (VRDN-006, VRDN-008) targeting multiple autoimmune diseases. Active projects include first commercial launch, commercial organization buildout, and pipeline screening assays.
Clinical analytics (SAS, R, CDISC, JMP, GraphPad Prism), commercial infrastructure (Veeva CRM, Veeva PromoMats, Veeva Safety), BI tools (Tableau, Power BI), cloud/infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, CloudFormation), and standard Microsoft Office suite.
