Tenaya Therapeutics, Inc. TNYA

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to a bold mission: to discover, develop and deliver potentially curative therapies that address the underlying drivers of heart disease.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the world. In the U.S., one person dies from a cardiovascular-related health condition every 34 seconds, a gruesome statistic that translates to one in every three deaths in the U.S each year. One in 20 adults suffer from congenital heart disease (CHD) and the picture is equally bleak at the other end of the age spectrum, as approximately 40,000 children are born in the U.S every year with CHD, the leading cause of birth defect-related morbidity and mortality. While there is a clear need for improved treatments, the rate of cardiovascular drug product approvals has declined in recent years and few of the approved treatments address the underlying cause of such diseases.
