Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated is a biopharmaceutical company located in San Diego, California.^[4] Founded in 1987 as Progenix Inc., the company went public in 1992. Initially focused on developing its own drugs, a period of turbulence in the early 2000s culminated in its CEO being ejected by the shareholders and provoked a change in focus to the acquisition of existing drugs and forming partnerships to develop them further.^{[citation needed]}

The company has been the subject of multiple regulatory investigations,^[5] negative shorts-seller reports^[6] and class action lawsuits amid allegations of securities fraud.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]

In 2018 its CEO was listed among the top five highest paid CEOs in San Diego.^[11]
