Rooted in the
rare community

We work alongside patients, families, and advocates to understand the realities of rare disease—ensuring their lived experience informs how we develop, evaluate, and deliver our medicines.

From vision toimpact

Mirum Pharmaceuticals was founded in November 2018 in the San Francisco Bay Area with a clear goal: to advance a promising therapy for children living with Alagille syndrome, a rare liver disease marked by significant unmet need.

 

The company began with an investigational program that had been deprioritized by a larger organization despite compelling potential. Recognizing both the scientific opportunity and the urgency within the Alagille syndrome community, Mirum’s founders moved decisively to advance the program—establishing the disciplined execution that continues to define the company today.

 

That therapy is now LIVMARLI®, approved for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in Alagille syndrome and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), with additional development programs underway.

 

From the outset, Mirum engaged closely with patients, families, and advocacy leaders to understand the realities of living with rare disease. Those early conversations reinforced a guiding belief: meaningful innovation begins with listening. That principle continues to shape how we develop medicines and evaluate new opportunities—focusing on conditions where the science is strong, the unmet need is clear, and the patient voice remains central.

Innovation with purpose

From the beginning, Mirum was built to move with momentum and intent. Leaders with deep experience in rare disease and in building biotech companies came together around a shared belief: patients with rare conditions cannot wait.

 

Today, Mirum is a global rare disease company with team members across North America and Europe. The company has built a portfolio of three approved medicines and a pipeline of clinical programs targeting significant unmet needs. As it continues to grow, Mirum remains focused on expanding access, advancing science, and delivering on our commitment to patients.

A culture thatdelivers

Mirum’s culture is intentionally built and deeply embedded in who we are. Guided by our core values—Care, Be Real, Get It Done, and Have Fun, Seriously—we foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and performance with purpose. We empower our teams to bring their authentic selves to work, take decisive action, and stay focused on what matters most: patients.

 

At Mirum, success is measured not only by the milestones we achieve but also by the progress we help create for the communities we serve.
