ChemoCentryx is focused exclusively on the discovery, development and commercialization of orally-administered small molecule therapeutics that target chemokine receptors and related chemoattractant receptors. Since its founding, ChemoCentryx has established one of the broadest pipelines of chemokine-based therapeutics in the pharmaceutical industry.
