Our Values

At Crinetics, our values generate a unique kind of energy, one shaped by relentless scientific curiosity, and an unwavering focus on patients. This energy fuels every experiment, every collaboration, and every breakthrough.

When we live our values with intention, we multiply that collective force, and directed toward impact, powering what’s possible for the people who need us most. Together, we transform shared purpose into measurable momentum, turning potential into progress.

Our Purpose is Patients

Our collective purpose is to unburden patients’ lives and remove the shadow of their disease from their daily world.

We approach our work with urgency and compassion, treating each challenge as if we were developing therapies for our loved ones. Our personal connections to patient and caregiver communities drive us to transform not just individual futures, but the future of medicine.

Science Will Win

The scientific mindset is the foundation of the company and the philosophy by which we operate.

Complex problems demand creative and comprehensive analyses. Breakthroughs happen by challenging the status quo, embracing rigorous debate, and holding our work to the highest possible standard. The scientific mindset is a philosophy not limited to the lab.

Never Settle

We live by a simple rule: excellence is the only benchmark.

This commitment means constantly raising the bar on our performance and embracing continuous improvement. We are always learning and growing – as individuals and as a company. Our success is measured not only by what we achieve, but by how we achieve it – with uncompromising ethics and integrity.

Own All Outcomes

Integrity starts with ownership and accountability is non-negotiable.

These concepts resonate through our commitment to our craft and an uncompromising approach to our actions, responsibilities, and the standards we share. As Crinetics’ owners, we are stewards of our mission’s time and financial resources treating them with a founder’s discipline. When we make a commitment, we deliver. When we fall short, we learn and make it right.

We Succeed Together

We are one team driven by a mission that no single person can achieve.

We are vigilant against silos, respect every contribution and one another, and celebrate the curiosity and diverse perspectives that fuel our creativity. We know that by infusing our entrepreneurial spirit within the capabilities of a fully integrated global organization, we will continue to achieve the extraordinary.
