Genemedicine CEO
I have been rigorously developing oncolytic virus and gene therapeutic for 25 years. I have endlessly strived toward developing innovative oncolytic virus platform that can overcome various technological limitations of conventional platforms.
Through endless hours of research and commitment, GeneMedicine Co., Ltd., has secured globally competitive technologies that encompass state-of-the-art innovations. Although the viruses’ potential application as cancer therapeutic has been recognized for several decades, currently marketed oncolytic viruses as those in on-going clinical trials have several core technological limitations and thus fail to elicit optimal therapeutic effect. To address these technological bottlenecks and overcome the limitations of oncolytic viruses, all members of GeneMedicine Co., Ltd., will continue to perform its development in a rigorous and diligent manner.
I promise that GeneMedicine Co., Ltd., will use its technological prowess to develop world’s best oncolytic virus in order to become a leader in the field of global healthcare and continue to revolutionize the biotechnology industry.
