Company Background Information

Overview
Powered by pioneering science, grounded in world-class expertise, and driven by purpose, Geron aims to change lives by changing the course of blood cancer. Nobel Prize-winning discoveries about an enzyme called telomerase and its impact on the uncontrolled proliferation of malignant cells were our beginning. The belief in the potential of a novel therapeutic approach targeting and inhibiting telomerase started our journey.
