At Nimbus, our mission is to develop breakthrough medicines for patients through precision small molecule design. We pride ourselves on our nimbleness, our expertise, our focus on collaboration, and our rich and supportive culture. With our approach, we have successfully advanced three programs into the clinic—and we’re enthusiastically working towards expanding on that success as we continue to focus on bringing truly novel medicines to those who can benefit the most.

What’s in a

name?

Our name, Nimbus, signifies a radiant light or luminosity, evoking the image of an aura of excellence, expertise, and achievement. We strive to embody this ideal every day as we work to illuminate the path from discovery to new medicines through our passionate team, multidisciplinary approach, and pioneering molecules.
