Description

Lexicon is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of breakthrough treatments for human disease. We use our proprietary gene knockout technology to knock out, or disrupt, the function of genes in mice and then employ an integrated platform of advanced medical technologies to systematically discover the physiological and behavioral functions and pharmaceutical utility of the genes we have knocked out and the potential drug targets encoded by the corresponding human genes. For targets that we believe have high pharmaceutical value, we engage in programs for the discovery and development of potential small molecule, antibody and protein drugs.
