Based on its genome analysis technology, it is expanding to the development of the customized cancer vaccines, companion diagnostic biomarkers, and new drugs using big data.

The Korea Bio Park building where Theragen Bio is residing is designed after the shape of DNA, and is considered the cradle of emerging Korean bio ventures. Currently, there are about 30 bio companies in the building, including the Korea Bio Association.
Theragen Bio office building is located on the 4th floor of Korea Bio Park Building C, and is equipped with facilities related to big data and bioinformatics (living information), general office space, and employee rest facilities in addition to clinical research facilities.
In this regard, Hwang Tae-soon, CEO of Theragen Bio, said, "With the relocation of the headquarters, all employees will devote themselves to a more challenging and creative attitude so that they can become a global genome-based customized medical solution company."./.
