About Us

Pharmasaga was established in January 2021 as a spin-off company from the Academia Sinica, transferring the research achievements of Dr. Wen-Chin Yang's laboratory over ten years. PS1 can effectively inhibit the PDIA4 protein, which plays a key role in diabetes, and data shows it can prevent pancreatic cell death and stabilize blood sugar.

Core Technology & Latest Updates

Core Technology

Academia Sinica first discovered and identified the novel diabetes target PDIA4, and utilized a molecular docking technology platform to identify lead compounds that inhibit PDIA4. This led to the development of PS-001, a potential first-in-class small-molecule novel drug for the diabetes market. Our company has obtained the exclusive global license for this technology from Academia Sinica, which serves as the core technology for our drug development.
