Areas of Scientific Focus

The primary mission of the scientists at CV Therapeutics is to discover and develop novel, small molecules to provide new therapies that help address unmet medical needs. Advances in genomics and molecular biology have enabled our scientists to pioneer the emerging field of molecular cardiology.

A hallmark of our company is our strong commitment to discovery science. Our goal is to identify previously unknown mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, explore gene and protein targets for drug discovery, and develop proprietary small molecules to be used against these targets. Our research is grounded in a culture where the vision of the science, the power of the team, and the promise of better medicine drive our discovery efforts.
