What is meant when you say Zafgen is a virtual company?
Zafgen has only three full-time employees that are responsible for all aspects of the company’s strategy while outsourcing most operations to external service providers. By relying on external parties, Zafgen is able to assign each task of the drug development process to the best suited experts in the field, regardless of geographical location. Consequently, Zafgen has collaborations in five continents with a network of over 50 companies and individuals. Zafgen further counts with the active support of the key researchers and opinion leaders in the field of obesity through its Scientific Advisory Board.
