Orygen
Orygen is a research and development biotechnology company currently focused on products based on Hiltonol® for human and veterinary use.
Since its creation in 2012, the work at Orygen has been the result of the combined efforts of the company´s experienced professionals together with the support of two of Brazil´s principal pharmaceutical companies: Biolab and Eurofarma. Beyond being shareholders, both companies participate in the management and the development of each project. In this way, while operating independently, we have the cutting-edge expertise of the two companies for patenting, regulatory affairs and manufacturing.
