Goldenrod Therapeutics

Goldenrod Therapeutics is developing a new class of medicine targeting serious neurological conditions — including Friedreich's ataxia, other neurodegenerative diseases, substance use disorders, and immunological diseases. Our approach builds on a well-established biological pathway in the brain, improving on earlier treatments that were held back by side effects and tolerability issues. By achieving meaningful drug exposure in the brain while maintaining a favorable safety profile, we believe we can open the door to treatments that simply weren't possible before — reaching millions of patients with few or no good options today.
