Founded as a company that sought to harness a breakthrough discovery in biology to improve human health, and pioneer an entirely new class of medicines (RNAi therapeutics), the drive to innovate is deeply encoded in the RNA of Alnylam’s culture. In fact, “innovation and discovery” is a cherished core value – one we focus on nurturing and that our incredible employees live and breathe every day. That’s why we’re so excited and honored to be named Fast Company's #1 Best Workplace for Innovators for 2022, which is also our second consecutive year on the list.
Innovation in life sciences isn't something that happens by accident – it's achieved through effort, perseverance and by nurturing the people and places that make new thinking and solutions possible. Assembling the right group of passionate individuals at all levels and then empowering them to challenge convention, make discoveries, improve processes, and invent new ways of working has been key to Alnylam's success. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, this recognition by Fast Company is wonderful validation of the workplace culture we've strived to create since our founding." – Dr. Akshay Vaishnaw, President of Alnylam
