About
Avidity Biosciences is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Diego, California, focused on revolutionizing RNA therapeutics through its proprietary Antibody Oligonucleotide Conjugate (AOC) platform. AOCs combine the tissue selectivity of monoclonal antibodies with the precision of oligonucleotide therapies to target genetic drivers of diseases previously untreatable with RNA therapeutics. The company led the field with the first successful targeted RNA delivery into muscle tissue and has three clinical development programs for rare muscle diseases — myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Avidity was acquired by Novartis in February 2026.
