A Decade of Arvinas

arvn-10annv-mask-group-2-dtp

Forging New Scientific Frontiers in Drug Discovery

2023 marked a monumental milestone in Arvinas’ history as we celebrated our 10-year anniversary.

Over the past decade, Arvinas has made incredible strides in pioneering targeted protein degradation research.

From creating the first oral PROTAC® protein degraders for clinical trials, to the initiation of Phase 3 clinical studies, we’ve remained committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in biotech.
