Palade BioTech

ADVANCING HUMAN HEALTH BY
BREAKTHROUGH THERAPEUTICS

We are a purpose-driven biotech company dedicated to transforming the lives of patients with life-threatening diseases who have no effective treatment options. Our mission is to deliver first-in-class, biology-driven therapies that overcome resistance mechanisms in both cancer and infectious diseases—addressing the most urgent and unmet medical needs.

With a bold vision to become a global leader in resistance-targeted therapeutics, we are pioneering curative solutions for drug-resistant, immunotherapy-refractory cancers and incurable viral threats, the areas of highest mortality and unmet need.

By focusing where others cannot, we aim to build a resilient, trusted company that delivers lasting impact to patients, partners, and the global healthcare community.

About Us

Palade Bio: Who We Are

Created in 2021, Palade BioTech is a South Korean firm committed to finding innovative solutions for some of the world’s biggest medical challenges. We focus on developing new, innovative technologies using synthetic biology and synthetic chemistry tools to provide solutions. We focus on four key areas:

  • Oncolytic ADC drugs for drug-resistant cancers and for Keytruda-non-responsive cancers.
  • Next-generation cancer immunotherapy drugs
  • GPCR-target tumor microenvironment modulator drugs.
  • Virus therapeutic drugs.

Our mission is to create innovative treatments and solutions for the toughest biological challenges where no viable treatments currently exist. The Palade BioTech team is led by Bong-Kwan Han, a globally recognized pioneer in the field of medical synthetic biology, and an additional three members dedicated to finding solutions to some of the most pressing healthcare issues facing society.

Vision & Mission

Our Mission

Our mission is to transform outcomes for patients with life-threatening diseases who currently have no effective treatment options. We are committed to delivering first-in-class, biology-driven therapeutics that overcome resistance mechanisms in both cancer and infectious diseases, addressing the urgent unmet needs of patients left behind by existing therapies.Through scientific innovation, strategic partnerships, and rapid translational development, we aim to bring hope and survival to those fighting drug-resistant tumors and incurable viral infections such as HBV and Zika virus

Our Vision

We envision becoming a global biotech leader in resistance-targeted therapeutics, developing curative solutions for the hardest-to-treat cancers and untreatable viral diseases. Our integrated pipeline leverages our proprietary platforms to deliver breakthrough treatments across two high-impact domains of drug-resistant cancers and incurable viral infections. By focusing on diseases with high mortality, no effective treatments, and global impact, we aim to build a differentiated, resilient, and purpose-driven biotech company that creates lasting value for patients, partners, and shareholders.

Our Goals

We are building a differentiated biotech company with two ambitious and synergistic goals aimed at transforming care for patients with the fewest options:
1. Deliver Breakthrough Therapies for Drug-Resistant and Checkpoint-Inhibitor–Non-Responsive Cancers.
2. Pioneer Antiviral Therapies for Incurable Viral Threats. Our long-term goals: Establish a globally trusted pipeline company known for solving hard problems in oncology and virology. Drive impact-driven innovation for underserved patients globally, especially where existing treatments have failed.

What We Do

Innovative Solutions for Challenging Health Conditions

Drug-Resistant Cancer Treatment

Drug resistance in cancer is a major obstacle to successful treatment. Cancer cells can quickly evolve mechanisms to evade the effects of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. This leads to treatment failure, cancer progression, and, ultimately, decreased survival rates.

Next-Generation Immunocytokine Cancer Drugs

Cytokines (interferons and interleukins) regulate the function of T cells and immune cells like Keytruda. Cytokines were identified long before PD-1 and PD-L1, immune checkpoint regulators that Keytruda targets. 

GPCR-Target Tumor Microenvironment Modulator Drugs

MoSTT-CelSuR : Palade’s highly-efficient high-throughput screening technology for GPCR targets resolving the high frequent false positive read-out problem of the current screening methods.

Antiviral Drugs

There are 219 known human-infecting viruses Vaccines were developed for 16 human-infecting viruses Therapeutic drugs were developed for only 9 human-infecting viruses.
