BlueRock Therapeutics Mission, Vision & Values

BlueRock Therapeutics Mission Statement

At BlueRock, our mission is to create authentic cellular medicines to reverse devastating diseases, with the vision of improving the human condition.

BlueRock Therapeutics Vision Statement

Until recently, scientists believed that mature adult cells were permanently locked into their differentiated state and unable to return to their pluripotent stem cell state. BlueRock’s focus is the natural evolution of the discoveries that shattered those old dogmas. Built on the research of some of the world’s foremost experts in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) biology, BlueRock has revolutionized and scaled methods for creating authentic cell types in the areas of neurology, cardiology, and immunology.
