Meet Remix™

Remix launched with a vision to transform patient’s lives through modulation of RNA processing. Our breakthrough science provides a path to identify small molecules that impact the expression of disease driving mRNAs and proteins. With an in-house technology platform built from scratch, we have rapidly generated multiple drug discovery programs that are advancing towards the clinic. We take on the challenge of addressing drug targets in diseases of high unmet medical need to bring new therapeutic options to patients.

Our Culture

Remix™ is a scientifically driven organization focused on creating innovative therapies for patients. Each Remixer contributes to our evolving culture, adding their unique perspective towards solving problems. We believe in asking the right questions, prioritizing scientific integrity, and mutual support between teammates.

Our RNA
We are “true to our RNA” and demonstrate the highest levels of scientific integrity and urgency because patients are counting on us. At Remix™, we do the right thing even when no one is watching. We follow the data, are passionate and candid, and honor and deliver on our commitments.
Remixing
Together
We see magic in the convergence of our culture and our science. We celebrate and encourage diverse perspectives, support one another through successes and failures and believe every employee has a role to play in helping us achieve our vision. We take our work seriously but not ourselves.
Courageous
Curiosity
We believe courage and curiosity are essential for innovation when the path ahead is unclear. We are boldly driving toward our vision of reprogramming RNA to transform patients’ lives. We push beyond traditional boundaries, ask incisive questions, take calculated risks, learn from failure and innovate relentlessly.

It's Personal

We are all affected by disease, whether it be through personal experience, a family member, a friend, or even a pet. We are fortunate to be part of the biopharmaceutical industry that strives for the discovery and development of new medicines. We all have a story that makes the work we do at Remix™ so important and we are inspired by responsibility to help patients and their loved ones. Here is a glimpse into our why….
Silvia Buonamici

Silvia's Mom

When I was only 5 years old, my mom, Mariella, was diagnosed with breast cancer. I remember it vividly because my Nonna Lidia stayed with us for a few months while Mom recovered from surgery. After her recovery, Mom returned to her role as a beloved math and science teacher, and we were able to spend quality time together as a family and with many friends. My passion for science began at a young age, through experimenting together and collecting insects and flowers. Unfortunately, several years later, Mom’s cancer returned, spreading to her lungs, bones, and other organs. This experience inspired me to study biology and pursue cancer drug discovery to help patients and families, especially those with young children.
Maria Tignor

Maria's Brother

A huge driving force in my career path was my brother, who had Cystic Fibrosis and was in and out of hospitals his whole life, which gave a passion and desire to help find a cure for CF. After taking more specialized courses and working in several other biology roles, I've landed here at Remix, where I have the privilege of working on research that will help patients with different diseases one day!
Aly Harney

Aly's Dad

My dad was diagnosed with grade IV Glioblastoma and after a quick, but fierce, 4-month battle he passed shortly after his 58th birthday. He worked incredibly hard but made sure to find the time most nights to enjoy evenings out on his fishing boat with family. Realizing how quickly you can lose a loved one gave me the motivation to seek work in an environment where I could make real advances in developing treatments or even a cure for patients that receive similar terminal diagnoses.

Corporate Partners

We recognize that drug discovery requires diverse skill sets and expertise to discover and develop new therapeutics. We look for partners that share our philosophy for high scientific integrity and breakthrough science, that complement our skill sets and can take our work to the next level. We enjoy great scientific minds meeting together in a collaborative setting that allows us to accelerate our discovery and development work.
