Description: NBIX Neurocrine Biosciences

Neurocrine Biosciences is a US-based biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and commercializes prescription drugs targeting neurological, psychiatric, endocrine, and immunological disorders in the United States and internationally. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in San Diego, California, the company operates within the large-cap biotechnology segment of the healthcare sector.

The company markets a portfolio of branded products including INGREZZA for tardive dyskinesia and Huntingtons disease-associated chorea, Orilissa and Oriahnn for endometriosis and uterine fibroids respectively, and CRENESSITY, ALKINDI, and Efmody for endocrine conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Its clinical pipeline spans multiple therapeutic areas, with candidates in development for movement disorders, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar mania, Alzheimers disease, epilepsy, obesity, and related metabolic diseases.

Neurocrine supplements its internal R&D with a network of license and collaboration agreements with major pharmaceutical partners including Takeda Pharmaceutical, Sanofi, AbbVie, Xenon Pharmaceuticals, Voyager Therapeutics, Nxera Pharma, and Tanabe Pharma. This hybrid model of in-house development combined with external partnerships is typical among mid-to-large biotech firms seeking to expand pipeline reach while sharing development risk.
