Assembly Pharmaceuticals is a virology-focused biopharmaceutical company with a discovery platform and programs based on proprietary Core Protein Allosteric Modulators (CpAMs) for the treatment of viral infections, starting with hepatitis B (HBV). CpAMs can alter the activities of the HBV core protein, a unique viral protein with no human analogue that is involved in multiple stages of the HBV life cycle. In contrast to current therapies that only suppress HBV, Assembly Pharmaceutical’s CpAMs may have curative potential by eliminating the viral reservoir in infected individuals. Hepatitis B infection has a worldwide prevalence of over 350 million and more than 600,000 people die every year from complications associated with chronic HBV. Assembly has operations in Indiana and San Francisco.
