At Ironwood Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: IRWD) our vision is clear: to bring new, differentiated therapies to the millions of patients who live with GI diseases.

Building on a strong, decades-long foundation, the next leg of our journey continues with two innovative assets. Our in-market product, LINZESS® (linaclotide), discovered in-house, is the branded prescription market leader in its class. We are also pioneering the science behind our development program IW-3718 which aims to address highly symptomatic GI conditions with significant unmet needs.

Ironwood was founded in 1998 out of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, an affiliate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and we remain headquartered in the vibrant biotech community of Cambridge, Mass. Each of our employees holds equity in the company, which means we all share the responsibility to help Ironwood succeed.
