HekaBio K.K. announced that it has secured 552 million JPY (4.9 million USD) in private funding. This funding round was led by Japanese corporates joined by private investors who share HekaBio’s passion for contribution to Japanese society through accelerated access to solutions for unmet medical needs.
HekaBio K.K. was established to specialize in the development and commercialization of innovative therapies originating from overseas, with an initial focus on cancer and autoimmune/inflammatory disorders.

Through this issue of new shares, HekaBio K.K. will continue its portfolio expansion and product development based on the company mission to address the unmet needs of patients and medical professionals in Japan.
