Company Overview

Assembly Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing oral therapies for serious viral infections. Its research programs have focused primarily on chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and herpesvirus diseases, with the goal of addressing areas where existing treatments may not provide a functional cure or durable disease control.

The company’s pipeline includes investigational HBV capsid assembly modulators, including ABI-4334, designed to interfere with key stages of the HBV lifecycle. Assembly is also developing antiviral candidates for herpes simplex virus (HSV), including ABI-5366, a long-acting helicase-primase inhibitor intended to prevent viral replication. These programs remain investigational and are subject to clinical and regulatory evaluation.

Assembly Biosciences has historically advanced its programs through a combination of internal research and strategic collaboration. The company entered into a collaboration with Gilead Sciences covering certain HBV research and development activities. Assembly is led by William M. Collier, who serves as president and chief executive officer.
