Utilizing the unique genome editing technology CRISPR-Cas3, C4U develops industrial applications to combat diseases that currently have no effective treatments.

HOIST is developing anti-cancer products with novel mechanism-of-action utilizing the MA-T® system. Further, we are pursuing epitranscriptomics drug discovery via a novel target, ALKBH. In addition, we run a drug discovery support business for our clients creating patient derived cells (PDC) / patient derived xenografts (PDX). In pharmaceutical development, HOIST aims to utilize partnerships with pharmaceutical companies (via licensing-out, joint drug discovery etc.). In the drug discovery support business, we tailor PDC/PDX solutions to individual needs of our clients, and contribute to higher success rate of product development.

We are a biotech company leveraging technologies from the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Nagasaki University, and Osaka University. We are developing "BROTHERS," a proprietary technology that pairs a PNA strand with an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO). This PNA acts as a "safeguard" to significantly reduce the toxicity issues common in conventional oligonucleotide therapeutics. We drive growth through a dual-engine business model: advancing our in-house pipeline for intractable diseases and out-licensing our platform via collaborations with pharmaceutical companies.

A startup developing proprietary technology that utilizes fish-derived gut bacteria to enhance aquaculture fish growth and strengthen immunity. Centered on aquaculture support through bacterial cocktails, it also tackles land-based aquaculture and branded fish production.

At Beef Sommelier, we provide our B-som Diagnosis with the aim of creating a world where producers can raise their ideal cattle and consumers can enjoy beef that truly matches their preferences. Our technology not only quantifies biological information from beef cattle, but also supports producers in achieving their target meat quality. By introducing a new scientific perspective that goes beyond conventional standards, we make the “unseen qualities” of beef visible and measurable. This enables consumers to clearly understand the characteristics of the beef they choose. B-som is the world’s first scientific diagnostic service that bridges the gap between producers and consumers.
