Ageing is inevitable, and so are the aches that come with age-related diseases. Thus, biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms are on a constant quest for cures and functional genomics that combat ageing and discover the mysteries behind the development of the human race.
In South Korea, a tenacious and relevant biopharmaceutical company has been developing innovative therapeutic concepts for the past 17 years. By 2022, Eyegene aims to unravel breakthrough medications for diabetic retinopathy, pressure ulcers, cervical cancer and other age-related diseases.
“We create first-in-class drugs and vaccines that fight ageing and enhance lives,” says Yoo Won-il, CEO. “Our transparency has earned people’s trust, and we continue to invite private and institutional investors to support our research.”

Apart from working with academia, research institutions and hospitals, Eyegene seeks collaborations in the region to expeditiously deliver its four main products. It pursues multinational and regional corporations to distribute EG-Mirotin. The drug prevents the progression of diabetic retinopathy in patients and helps reduce leakage while increasing patient convenience. For EG-Decorin, a therapeutic ointment that eases the treatment of pressure ulcers caused by ischemia, Eyegene welcomes cooperation with speciality pharmaceutical players focused on wound healing and pressure ulcer therapies.
