Flare Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pioneering a new therapeutic space with a novel approach to decipher the biology of transcription factors to develop small molecule medicines. Based on insights from the seminal work of its scientific founders, Flare’s team has uncovered ‘switch sites,’ druggable regions that are key targets for transcription factor regulation, to address mutations that cause disease. Flare’s drug discovery efforts to target switch sites has rapidly advanced, resulting in an emerging pipeline of research programs that address well-validated genetically-defined transcription factors, initially focused on precision oncology with future potential in neurology, rare genetic disorders, immunology and inflammation.
We are a collective of brilliant fires, trailblazing a path to conquer transcription factors and create cutting-edge medicines for patients. We embrace diversity in all its forms, experiences, and viewpoints. We are inspired by the unknown and willing to take risks. We are passionate about the science we pursue and compassionate about the patients it stands to benefit. And we respect, value, and believe in each other.

What We Do
Our team ‘brings it’ every day for one mission: to conquer transcription factors and create cutting-edge medicines for patients.
Flare is lighting up a new therapeutic space with an entirely different approach to decipher the biology of transcription factors to develop small molecule medicines. Based on insights from the seminal work of our scientific founders, Flare’s team is leveraging the power of ‘switch sites’ as druggable regions that hold the control for predictable and profound changes in DNA transcription, and therefore, gene expression. Our drug discovery to target ‘switch sites’ has rapidly advanced, resulting in our pipeline of drug programs that address well-validated transcription factors, initially focused on precision oncology.
