“By leveraging the capabilities of the two companies, we hope to accelerate the development of innovative cancer therapy to significantly improve the lives of suffering cancer patients.”

The company stated that NanoReady provides high versatility to different mRNA molecules.

When combined with mRNA therapeutic molecules developed by LG Chem, the pre-made drug delivery formulation helps to simplify and improve the combination process.

This is expected to shorten the development time of new drugs and to support personalised treatments.

LG Chem Life Sciences company head Ji-Woong Son said: “We hope to maximise success through active collaboration between the two companies, with the aim to provide innovative mRNA-based cancer therapeutics to patients worldwide.”
