About D3 Bio
D3 Bio is a globally focused biotechnology company focusing on developing and registration of innovative medicines in oncology and immunology. At D3 Bio, our new medicine development approach is fundamentally differentiated. We do not just only start with science in the lab. First, we start from pinpointing the greatest unmet patient and market needs – where existing standard-of-care approaches yield unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. Then we take those insights into lab to guide the identification of fit for purpose science and technology, and define our drug development path.
D3 Bio R&D programs are also designed to create a structure, which would enable us to create a robust portfolio and identify assets carrying “back-bone” property for developing future therapies in multiple indications. Our portfolio will include assets from internal effort as well as assets in-licensed in pre-clinical or clinical-stage investigational compounds. This cycle of innovation is at the heart of D3 Bio. In fact, it underlies our name: Development leading to Discovery that then leads back to more Development, or D3 Bio.
D3 Bio is backed by a syndicate of world-class investors whose support underscores their belief in the promise of the Company. Major investors include Boyu Capital, Matrix Partners China, Sequoia Capital China, Temasek, and WuXi AppTec's Corporate Venture Fund.
Our vision
D3 Bio is to transform the lives of patients worldwide who suffer from the most difficult-to-treat, life threatening or debilitating conditions. Creating break-through precision medicines that match therapies to the disease biomarkers of individual patients, D3 Bio is committed to convert life-threatening cancers into manageable chronic conditions. We envision D3 Bio’s novel therapeutics would satisfy the unmet needs of cancer patients across the globe.
Our team
D3 Bio brings a level of world-class experience at multinational big pharma companies that promises success for the Company’s visionary approach to drug discovery, development and commercialization. With strong track records in successfully introducing major drugs into the U.S., Chinese and other markets, the D3 Bio team understands the science and market requirements for translational drug development. Their unique vision for D3 Bio is to create a bridge between insights about the actual clinical needs of patients and the scientific, biomarker-driven research needed to create precision medicines for the world.
