Mission & Vision

MISSION / VISION / VALUES

Our mission sets out why xFOREST exists, our vision sets out where our science is headed, and our values set out what we ask of each other day to day.

++ MISSION SCIENCE / SOCIETY
OUR MISSION

IMPACTING Society through Science

"We aim to create a new mainstream in science and drive meaningful change in society."

Today, for various reasons, the importance of life science is being undervalued globally. Through our innovative scientific achievements, we aim to become the source of a new mainstream that reshapes the evaluation of the global pharmaceutical industry and ultimately the startup ecosystem as well.

The impact of xFOREST's work will extend across society through science.

++ VISION RNA / SMALL MOLECULES
OUR VISION

Make Any RNA Druggable

"Designing selective RNA medicines for any disease target."

Our ultimate goal is to enable small molecules to do what only ASOs and siRNAs can do today: selectively modulate RNA targets. Powered by our extensive data on RNA-binding affinity and selectivity, we aim to offer a new class of RNA-targeted therapeutics with the advantages that only small molecules can provide.

RNA folds into structures that control translation, splicing and stability. Those functional structures can create selective recognition sites for small molecules.

OUR VALUES

INTERACT, RESPECT & IMPACT

INTERACT

"Where diverse minds meet, innovation begins."

Our strength lies in who we are: a team spanning cultures, disciplines, and techniques. Through open interaction, our diversity fuels the innovation that defines xFOREST.

RESPECT

"Adding a 'plus alpha' of value to everything we do."

Even small actions, like tidying your desk or picking up trash, can make a meaningful difference. We encourage everyone to stretch just a little beyond their everyday selves. At xFOREST, we value people who bring a 'plus alpha' of empathy, expertise, and passion. We expect each member to contribute their own added value to the team, to science, and to our clients.

IMPACT

"Driving meaningful change, one discovery at a time."

At xFOREST, impact means more than just results. It's about creating real value for patients, partners, and society. We pursue scientific breakthroughs that matter, not just papers that publish. Every experiment, every collaboration, every decision is guided by one question: "Will this make a difference?" We measure our success not by what we do, but by the lives we ultimately improve.
