Social Responsibility

PSTx was chartered for social benefit by its founders. 

Paradigm Shift Therapeutics is chartered with a commitment to social benefit, which will be achieved by sharing the value of our discoveries more equitably among all the stakeholders in the drug development process, especially patients. 

Our scientific goal is to develop a transformational therapy for cancer through our award-winning science and our novel approach to a promising cancer target.  Our strategy leverages existing networks of translational and clinical development resources at government and academic institutions through public-private partnerships to advance candidates from discovery to the clinic. Our business model promises a better return on taxpayer investment in publicly-funded research by developing therapies in an innovative, capital efficient, and cost controlled manner followed by fair and transparent pricing. This kind of social benefit commercialization strategy is successful in many other industries, and we strive to be among the first to pioneer it in biopharma. 

Our success will demonstrate that social benefit can sustainably guide product development and commercialization in the drug industry and that there is room for both profits and patients. The PSTx founder’s vision is that a CD47 therapeutic will be the first in a portfolio of a sustainable business committed to socially responsible drug development.
