Kyoto Drug Discovery & Development: 10 Years of Progress

At Kyoto Drug Discovery & Development, we remain steadfast in our mission: to be a true drug discovery company—now and in the future.

Drug discovery companies and pharmaceutical companies play distinct yet complementary roles. Drug discovery companies like ours are rooted in science and innovation. We identify unmet medical needs, envision therapeutic possibilities, and chart the course toward clinical validation. In contrast, pharmaceutical companies focus on delivering approved medicines to patients through large-scale manufacturing, distribution, and ongoing safety assurance.

We contribute to society through Drug Discovery & Development. For patients facing serious, untreatable diseases, we search for promising compounds, refine them through rigorous science, and guide them step by step toward becoming real-world treatments.

This year marks our 10th anniversary. The therapies we are developing continue to progress steadily, bringing us closer to making a real impact in patients’ lives.

Every member of our team shares a deep passion for creating treatments for diseases with no current cure. As a drug discovery company, we take our social responsibility seriously and are sincerely grateful for the support and collaboration of the academic, medical, and broader communities.

With unwavering commitment, we will continue our efforts to bring hope and healing through innovation.
