Our Mission & Values
We are patient-focused
Here at Ardelyx®, we are dedicated to improving the lives of patients by discovering, developing, and commercializing first-in-class medicines that advance patient care. Using our discovery model, Ardelyx scientists identified new biological mechanisms that enabled us to develop medicines designed to address significant unmet medical needs with the goal of improving outcomes for patients.
Our Core Values
Passionate
With integrity and determination, we make a difference for patients.
Fearless
By challenging convention, we truly innovate.
“We are passionate about helping one another, our science, and making a positive impact for patients. For me, being passionate about my work means having the right mindset to embrace challenges, caring about my team and contributing to our success, and understanding that I have an important role to achieve our shared goal: improving patients’ lives.”
“Ardelyx is built upon a foundation where you feel empowered to speak up. To me, being fearless is about being willing to try new and unexpected things. If you’re aiming for success, you have to constantly be improving and moving.”
“When we dedicate ourselves to a common goal, we become unstoppable in the face of any challenge. We team up, we work hard, we ask questions nobody else is asking and communicate openly. It is when we collaborate as a team that both the individual and the organization thrive.”
“Inclusiveness means access to ideas, perspectives and connections across all of the demographics our products touch. At Ardelyx, we strive to foster a sense of belonging so that people feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work. The result is an internal culture that values multiple viewpoints and can navigate complicated problems with openness, curiosity and creativity.”
