Founded in 1981, ZymoGenetics is a biopharmaceutical company with a development pipeline of proteins, antibodies, and antibody-like molecules. ZymoGenetics is publicly traded (NASDAQ: ZGEN) and headquartered in Seattle, Washington in the historic Seattle City Light Steam Plant building.
Our mission is to create novel protein drugs that will significantly help patients fight their diseases. We have contributed to the discovery or development of six recombinant protein products now marketed by other companies. Current programs target inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, bleeding, cancer and viral indications. Our first internally developed product, RECOTHROM® Thrombin, topical (Recombinant), was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 17, 2008 for use as a topical hemostat to control moderate bleeding during surgical procedures and is now marketed in the United States. We have a rich pipeline of novel therapeutics, which we are developing on our own or in collaboration with partners.
