About JCR Pharmaceuticals

JCR Pharmaceutical is a global specialty pharmaceutical company that develops treatments that go beyond rare diseases to solve the world’s most complex healthcare challenges. We continue to build upon our 50-year legacy in Japan while expanding our global footprint into the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. Our core values – Putting people first, Forging our own path, Always advancing, and Committed to excellence – mean that the work we do benefits all our stakeholders, including partners, patients and employees. We are leaders in developing therapies for rare conditions, including lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). We are building on the development work we've done in Japan to expand our LSD pipeline: Our first-in-class proprietary technology, J-Brain Cargo®, enables us to develop therapies that cross the blood-brain barrier and penetrate the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS complications of diseases are often severe, resulting in developmental delays, an impact on cognition and, above all, poor prognosis, which affect patients' independence as well as the quality of life of patients and their caregivers. With J-Brain Cargo®, we seek to address the unresolved clinical challenges of LSDs and CNS-related disorders, including neurodegeneration, neuro-oncology, and neuro-inflammation conditions, by delivering the therapy to both the body and the brain. We will continuously try to create value by our unique J-Brain Cargo® technology platform toward our corporate philosophy: We create treatments that go beyond rare disease to solve the world's most complex healthcare challenges. In addition to the in-house research activities, we think collaborative research and development work with other companies are also important. The value of our technology platforms will be increased by integrating ours with other technologies and by implementing J-Brain Cargo® and JUST-AAV within other companies’ products.
