MediBIC: No.1
on Top 50 fastest growing Japanese Technology
companies
Sept. 2004, MediBIC was recognized as the
fastest growing technology company with its
remarkable 1,121% growth rate in the past
three years by Deloitte & Touche Tomatsu.
MediBIC’s mission
is to bring about the concept of “Personalized Medicine”
to reality in Japan. We are building towards accomplishing
this mission through development of key technologies in
strategic partnerships with academic labs and leading
international biotech companies focusing on different
aspects of Pharmacogenomics (PGx).
PGx related technologies are in early
stages of development and fast changing. The early nature
of some of these technologies require vast investment
of resources to increase robustness. MediBIC believes
that the best way to approach the emerging needs of PGx
is to develop multiple integrated approaches to solving
the problems. This will enable us to choose the best solution
for any project rather than be limited to fitting one
solution for all problems.
We have established partnerships in
key areas of PGx, metabolomics and proteomics with international
companies. Our approach is collaborative in nature bringing
together the best technologies from different organizations
under the same umbrella, regardless of their geographic
locations.
We are continually looking to expand
our global network in this area and welcome an opportunity
to collaborate with leading technology or service companies.
