Viridian Therapeutics (VRDN) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Viridian Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRDN) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of targeted antibody therapeutics for patients suffering from rare and serious diseases. The company’s lead program, VRDN-001, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that antagonizes the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), with an initial focus on thyroid eye disease (TED). By selectively inhibiting IGF-1R signaling, VRDN-001 aims to reduce inflammation and tissue remodeling associated with TED and related disorders.

In addition to VRDN-001, Viridian is advancing a second antibody program, VRDN-002, which targets complement-mediated pathways implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Both candidates are being evaluated in multiple clinical trials across North America and Europe, underscoring the company’s commitment to building a robust pipeline of precision biologics. Viridian’s research platform leverages advanced antibody engineering to enhance potency, selectivity and pharmacokinetic properties, supporting the development of differentiated therapies with the potential for best-in-class profiles.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Viridian was established by a team of experienced biotechnology entrepreneurs and scientists. The company completed its initial public offering in 2021 to secure funding for clinical development and manufacturing scale-up. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Mara Aspinall and Chief Medical Officer Michael Rosenzweig, Viridian has formed strategic partnerships with contract development and manufacturing organizations to support its late-stage programs. Viridian’s global footprint extends through clinical sites and collaborative networks aimed at delivering novel treatments to patients worldwide.
