SOCIUM Inc. started its operations in September 2017 with a corporate mission,
“Drug discovery for patients with no drug, Drug discovery for patients with ineffective drug.”
“socium” means “Partner” in Latin. SOCIUM committed to being a partner with people that hope to enjoy healthier life.
We will contribute the drug research and development by solving pharma partners’ issues.
By shaping drug discovery process, we will make an effort to discover medicines for patients with no drug.
Furthermore, we will continue to move ahead on providing patients with innovative medicines earlier with pharma partners.
