Inspiring Great Partnerships
Inspire is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to researching, developing and commercializing prescription pharmaceutical products in disease areas with significant commercial potential and unmet medical needs. The company was founded in 1995 by a small group of scientists focused on the, then emerging, field of purinergic receptor technology.

Inspire scientists have become recognized leaders in the discovery and synthesis of nucleotides that activate the P2Y2 receptor. With P2 receptors located on mucosal membranes throughout the body, our scientific research has led to the discovery and development of potential drug candidates for treating ophthalmic and pulmonary diseases.

Building on our strong scientific heritage, Inspire has achieved organic pipeline growth through a committed development team. Our R&D focus began in respiratory disease with cystic fibrosis and over the years has included exploration in the areas of chronic bronchitis and COPD. Our work in ocular surface and retinal diseases led to a strategic focus in ophthalmology. We have also expanded our efforts beyond purinergic receptor technology to include compounds that target allergies.

In 2004, Inspire entered into a new era with the integration of a specialty sales and marketing organization focused on North America. As the company has grown over time, the common denominator from the talented scientists and dedicated development team to the exuberant commercial force is our passionate corporate culture. Inspire is a unique blend of dynamic, creative individuals, who have a strong sense of compassion and high standards combined with a resiliency and determination equal to none.

Our mission is to impact therapeutic markets where we can make a difference in patients' lives - from improving everyday living for an allergy sufferer to changing the course of the progressive, debilitating disease process in the lungs of a cystic fibrosis patient.
