Founded in 2019, Abogen Biosciences is one of the pioneering biotech companies in China to develop mRNA-based therapeutics. The company bears firm belief in the boundless prospects of mRNA science and technology. Upholding this vision, we have established our own proprietary mRNA platform and LNP-based delivery system to open a world of possibilities for creating an unprecedented abundance and diversity of treatments that address unmet medical needs.
Abogen is one of few biotech companies in China that self-developed all of key mRNA platform technologies across mRNA synthesis, delivery and manufacturing. Our technology platform enables us to develop vaccines in line with the fast variation of COVID-19 virus. ARCoV ( Commercial name: AWcorna) is the first approved China-made mRNA vaccine in combating against global pandemic.
At Abogen, we keep exploring new frontiers of mRNA to drive progress in drug discovery landscape. We aim to develop a whole new class of mRNA-based therapeutics with better profile of safety and efficacy in prophylactic vaccines, oncology & immunology and protein replacement.
