About Us

The Power of Team

We are an immunology innovation company, co-creating entrepreneurial science. We’re seeking a new approach to science, one that challenges conventions and expands possibilites for patients. We innovate with more impact because we bring academic discovery, clinical insight, and patient experience together. We welcome those inspired to pursue uncharted pathways. Those emboldened to remove barriers, expand possibilities, and accelerate immunology innovation.​

We are argenx and we co-create bold pathways to transform yesterday's unthinkable immunology science into the medicines patients need today.

Story of the Argonauts

The name “argenx” comes from Greek lore. A tale that celebrated the collective power of a team over that of a single hero. In a small boat, the Argonauts sailed the ocean in search of the golden fleece. It was a seemingly impossible task, but through the efforts of the team—and the unique contributions of each individual—the Argonauts achieved the unthinkable. 

We too are pursuing the seemingly unattainable. Like the Argonauts, our team is successfully navigating uncharted pathways through the power of partnership and co-creation.  

We are helping engineer life-changing medicines for patients that need them.
