Arcutis was founded in 2016 to address significant unmet needs in medical dermatology. The company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing best-in-class products. Our strategy is to exploit recent innovations in inflammation and immunology to bring the best molecules to bear against validated physiologic targets known to treat dermatological diseases and disorders. Our management team has extensive expertise in the development and commercialization of medical dermatology products, having held key leadership roles at a number of leading dermatology companies and, collectively, has successfully developed more than 50 FDA-approved products. We believe that by leveraging our team`s unique experience and demonstrated expertise to identify, develop and commercialize best-in-class molecules against validated targets, we will be able to develop differentiated products in less time, at lower cost, and at substantially lower risk than other approaches. Arcutis` combination of vision, unmet medical need, experienced management and strategic approach has attracted support from leading investors in the life sciences sector.

Exonics Therapeutics was launched in February 2017 to advance the research of our scientific founder, Dr. Eric Olson and his laboratory at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) to develop treatments for patients with neuromuscular diseases. Dr. Olson is one of the world’s leading experts in the study of muscle cells and the application of gene editing to treat these types of diseases. In particular, Dr. Olson’s laboratory has used adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a CRISPR/Cas9 technology that can identify and repair exon mutations to restore the production of dystrophin, a protein that helps stabilize and protect muscle fibers. Dystrophin is the protein missing in boys with Duchenne. The loss of dystrophin causes Duchenne.
