January 30, 2012 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 90, Issue 5

Alnylam is making another round of job cuts as it sharpens its focus on the clinical development of its RNAi-based drug candidates. The Cambridge, Mass.-based company, which had 171 employees at the end of September 2011, will trim 33% of its workforce to save roughly $20 million this year. Alnylam will take a $4 million charge in the first quarter related to the restructuring. The move marks the second round of major layoffs at Alnylam, which in September 2010 shed a quarter of its staff after ending a five-year research collaboration with Novartis.
