Company Overview

Silence Therapeutics plc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) therapeutics. Leveraging its proprietary EnCore lipid nanoparticle delivery platform, the company aims to silence disease-causing genes in the liver and other tissues. Silence’s technology is designed to enhance targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules, with the goal of achieving durable therapeutic effects and improved safety profiles compared with traditional drug modalities.

The company’s lead product candidates include SLN360, an siRNA therapeutic designed to reduce lipoprotein(a) levels for cardiovascular risk reduction, and SLN124, aimed at treating hereditary hemochromatosis and beta-thalassemia by modulating iron metabolism. Both programs have advanced through early clinical stages, generating proof-of-concept data. Silence also maintains a portfolio of preclinical research programs targeting liver-related diseases, while exploring strategic collaborations to broaden the reach of its RNAi platform across multiple therapeutic areas.

Founded in the United Kingdom and headquartered in London, Silence Therapeutics operates research and development facilities in Europe and the United States. The company has navigated the evolving RNA therapeutics landscape since the early 2000s, transitioning from discovery research into clinical development. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Eric M. Rose, Silence continues to advance its pipeline with the objective of delivering novel RNAi medicines to patients with high-unmet medical needs worldwide.
