Company Overview

Athira Pharma, Inc. is a clinical‐stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Seattle, Washington, that is dedicated to developing therapies aimed at restoring neuronal health and slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

In addition to ATH‐1017, the company is exploring follow‐on small‐molecule candidates designed to target related pathways and broaden the potential therapeutic impact across multiple neurodegenerative indications.

Athira Pharma went public in 2019 and is traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol ATHA. The company conducts clinical studies in the United States and Europe in collaboration with academic research centers and contract research organizations. Leadership has included key figures from both the biotech and neuroscience research communities, with a management team experienced in drug development, clinical operations and regulatory affairs.
