For more than two decades, Alnylam has challenged what's possible in medicine, transforming RNAi from a scientific discovery into an entirely new class of medicines. Today, we're building on that pioneering spirit, advancing a broad pipeline of innovative therapies and exploring new opportunities to bring the potential of RNAi to even more patients.
At the heart of that progress are our people. Across functions, geographies and disciplines, Alnylam colleagues bring curiosity, collaboration and a shared sense of purpose to their work every day.
Being recognized as a Science Top Employer for eight consecutive years reflects the strength of Alnylam's scientific culture and our continued commitment to innovation, collaboration and excellence. In 2026, we were honored to earn the #7 spot on this prestigious list.
This recognition as a Science Top Employer reflects the strength of our incredible people and culture. At Alnylam, we translate bold science into meaningful impact for patients. We’re proud of our 'challenge accepted' mindset and how far we have come. However, RNAi therapeutics are just getting started, as we continue to expand the potential of RNAi into all major tissues of the human body in order to continue on our quest to help patients who are waiting worldwide." - Kevin Fitzgerald, PhD, Alnylam's Chief Scientific Officer
