Isis is a leading drug discovery and development company, focused exclusively on the therapeutic target, RNA. Founded in 1989, Isis' mission is to develop products from its RNA-based technologies, such as antisense. Very little was known about antisense when the Company was first established, but its founders envisioned an opportunity to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry with a more efficient and targeted means of drug discovery. Since then, Isis scientists have made tremendous progress advancing the science of antisense, unveiling capabilities that have far exceeded their expectations.

Ibis Biosciences is a division of Isis Pharmaceuticals focused on the development and commercialization of mass spectrometry-based diagnostic applications for the detection of infectious diseases and for human forensics applications.
