About
Santaris Pharma A/S was a Copenhagen, Denmark-based biopharmaceutical company founded in 2003 through the merger of Cureon and Pantheco, with a second research site opened in San Diego in 2009. The company developed RNA-targeted medicines using its proprietary Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) Drug Platform, advancing candidates for cancer, hepatitis C, and cardiometabolic disease, and partnering with Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Shire, Enzon, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. In August 2014, Roche acquired Santaris for up to $450 million, renaming the Copenhagen site the Roche Innovation Center Copenhagen, which was fully closed in 2023 when Roche consolidated RNA research in Basel.
