Argenes Inc. is a bio-venture company established in April 2004 focused on the development of new therapeutic drugs for intractable musculoskeletal illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia syndrome. With our partners at the Institute Medical Science St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Argenes strives to create new scientific knowledge and intellectual property by developing new, cutting edge drugs and biotechnologies. Central to our way of doing business are strategic alliances with Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Nippon Zoki Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (a partner for the collaborative development of ARG171, a therapeutic drug for fibromyalgia syndrome) that better enable us to create and market new medicines that we hope will improve the health and enrich the lives of people the world over.
