Our company was founded in 2006 with a vision to revolutionize the treatment of rare diseases through our innovative technology platform. Today, we are a fast-growing, global company with a team of over 500 employees dedicated to bringing life-changing therapies to patients in need.
At Ascendis Pharma, we are committed to putting patients first. We understand the challenges and struggles that patients with rare diseases face and we are determined to make a difference in their lives. Our dedication to patients is at the heart of everything we do, from the discovery and development of new therapies to our interactions with healthcare providers and patient advocacy groups.
Our approach to drug development is driven by science and backed by a deep understanding of the complex biology of rare diseases. We are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to develop treatments that have the potential to be best-in-class and improve the lives of patients. Our TransCon technology platform allows us to create therapies with improved efficacy, safety, and convenience for patients, which sets us apart from traditional pharmaceutical companies.
Passion is the driving force behind our work at Ascendis Pharma. We are a team of highly skilled and motivated individuals who share a common goal of making a meaningful impact on the lives of patients. Our culture is built on collaboration, innovation, and a shared passion for creating a better future for those affected by rare diseases.
In the field of endocrinology, we have three promising product candidates in clinical development, with the potential to address unmet medical needs in growth hormone deficiency, hypoparathyroidism, and achondroplasia. We are also expanding into Oncology and Ophthalmology, with ongoing research and development efforts in these areas.
As a global company, we have a strong presence in both Europe and the United States. Our headquarters are located in Copenhagen, Denmark, and we have additional offices in Germany and the US. This allows us to tap into the rich pool of talent and resources in these regions, further fueling our growth and success.
