We’re all about humanity
We make a difference in the lives of patients around the world with serious and rare diseases because the vitality of our science is powered by our core values.
Guided by our values
At Insmed, the needs of patients serve as our compass point when setting priorities for the company and weighing difficult decisions. Our five core values—collaboration, accountability, passion, respect, and integrity—set the tone for our culture and guide the actions we take each day.

Our commitment to patients has no borders. In addition to our global corporate headquarters in Bridgewater, NJ, we have offices throughout Europe and in Japan, with more than 600 employees who are dedicated to serving the needs of patients and their families. We continue to build our global infrastructure and organizational capabilities as we pursue regulatory approvals in multiple regions.
Our history
Our company has evolved significantly over the years, but our commitment to patients remains. As we look toward the future, we are inspired by our vision to deliver life-altering therapies to small patient populations experiencing big health problems.
