Seizing the Opportunity

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins that help regulate nearly every aspect of human physiology. They have been the most productive target class in drug discovery history, accounting for approximately one-third of all FDA approved pharmaceuticals. The majority of potential GPCR targets, however, have been beyond the reach of modern drug discovery technologies. Until now.

Our Native Complex Platform™ is shifting the paradigm of GPCR drug discovery and bringing previously difficult-to-drug GPCRs into play as therapeutic targets. This creates an opportunity for Septerna to spearhead a new era of GPCR-targeted medicines.

Our Why. Our Story.

Our story starts at the epicenter of GPCR science, with founders and advisors who have made decades of groundbreaking discoveries that reveal the inner workings and molecular pharmacology of this family of receptors that has proven to be a remarkable source of medicines. By coming together to create Septerna and explore our idea of the Native Complex Platform™, these leading scientists provided us with expertise across all aspects of GPCR science and pharmacology.

Septerna’s team of scientists and drug hunters took on the challenge of making the Native Complex Platform™ a reality by building an industrialized platform from the ground up, capable of isolating and controlling GPCRs in a revolutionary new way for drug discovery. We continue to create our story – advancing a deep portfolio of oral small molecule GPCR-targeted programs to treat diseases across multiple therapeutic areas for patients with significant unmet needs.
