We are looking for great people who thrive in a respectful, collaborative, inclusive, and productive culture to join the Xenon team.
**What We Do**:
We are advancing an exciting portfolio of neurology therapies in our product pipeline, with a focus on commercializing novel treatments for epilepsy. Building upon the positive results and compelling data from our XEN1101 Phase 2b “X-TOLE” study in adult patients with focal epilepsy, our XEN1101 epilepsy program includes multiple Phase 3 clinical trials in patients with focal onset seizures and primary generalized tonic clonic seizures. In addition, based on topline data from our XEN1101 Phase 2 “X-NOVA” clinical trial in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD), we are actively exploring the future development of XEN1101 in MDD and potentially other indications. Our pipeline also includes other early-stage research programs, and we are proud of the leading-edge science coming out of our discovery labs. Backed by a strong balance sheet to support our growth plans, we continue to build a fully integrated, premier neuroscience company with strong discovery, clinical development, corporate, and commercial operations.
