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 on a foundation where employees are empowered to speak up. To me, being fearless is embracing moments that push us outside of what is familiar. It’s not being afraid to be curious and ask questions, because if we don’t ask, we don’t learn, and curiosity can open doors to learning and understanding."
“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.”
“At Ardelyx, we are stronger together. Our commitment to inclusivity builds a team where diverse perspectives can challenge assumptions, and where team members can explore innovative ideas that improve patient outcomes.”
Dedicated
Working tirelessly together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.
Inclusive
With respect, grace, and humor, we are family.
