Welcome to Mereo BioPharma, we are an agile biopharmaceutical company, focused on finding and bringing to market therapies that will improve the lives of people living with a rare disease. We are driven by a true understanding of the critical nature of our mission. We harness the power of science; with our knowledge of the rare diseases we seek to treat and deep relationships with all our stakeholders to create new therapeutic possibilities for people who need them. We do this in a focused and capital efficient manner. Our journey began back in March 2015 fuelled by the desire to champion high-potential novel therapies that were not being progressed in pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. We acquired three product candidates from Novartis in 2015 and one from AstraZeneca in 2017. Merging with OncoMed in 2019 strengthened our foundation, broadening our reach and adding cutting-edge oncology programs to our pipeline. The Mereo team is a crew on a mission. We understand the gravity of our work for people with few therapeutic options. Mereo’s agile approach is enabling us to move rigorously but quickly through trial programs. We have taken two therapies from in-licensing to pharma through to Phase 3 studies in under 5 years. Our portfolio covers potential therapies addressing critical needs in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency-associated Lung Disease (AATD-LD) and two oncology product candidates. Our entrepreneurial spirit and purpose-led approach attracts the most talented people from across pharma and biotech. Every single team member is here because of their passion for helping people with health conditions, and their unique skills, experience and perspectives. We know what it takes to navigate reimbursement, which can be complex and have the expertise to drive excellence. Follow our updates on this extraordinary journey as we continue to collaborate with our stakeholders to forge new ways of doing things in rare disease.
