About MapLight Therapeutics

MapLight Therapeutics is pioneering new treatments for brain disorders. You will develop therapies that transform lives for conditions like schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. We combine single-cell transcriptomics, optogenetics, and spatial transcriptomics to discover novel drug targets. Our platform enables more effective and better-tolerated therapies. You will work on clinical-stage assets, including ML-007C-MA in Phase 2 for schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease psychosis. Another promising compound, ML-004, is in Phase 2 trials for Autism Spectrum Disorder. We are also building a robust preclinical pipeline for other neurological conditions. MapLight has secured over $372.5 million in Series D funding from top investors, demonstrating strong confidence in our mission and approach.
