Driven by Science: Alnylam Named a Science Magazine Top Employer 6 Years in a Row
October 22, 2024
Transformational, world-leading science is at the heart of who we are as a company. It's that commitment to scientific excellence and leadership in our field of RNA interference which has driven our success and established our reputation as a top place for scientists to work.
Among accolades a company can earn, we believe that those that results from the voices of peers and people in our industry are the most validating, and for that reason, we are deeply honored to be recognized by Science Magazine as a Top Employer for 2024, which marks our 6th year in a row on this prestigious list.
As a science-driven company, we strive to be recognized within the scientific community as a truly great place to work. We maintain a dynamic and vibrant culture so that scientists can thrive and grow here. We aim to train them so well that everyone else wants them, but then treat them well enough that they choose to stay at Alnylam. This ongoing recognition from our peers through the Science Top Employers ranking is gratifying outside validation of what we know and feel internally.” – Kevin Fitzgerald, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer
