About

UPPTHERA is a South Korean pharmaceutical venture company developing innovative cancer therapeutics based on targeted protein degradation (TPD) technology, including PROTACs. The company has built proprietary platforms — UPPGRADER for novel E3 ligase target identification using scRNA-seq analysis, UPPBEAT for covalent ligand screening via chemoproteomics, and SpeedUPP for accelerating hit-to-candidate timelines — enabling it to pursue oncology targets previously considered undruggable. UPPTHERA has entered Phase 1/2a clinical trials with its lead PLK1-targeting degrader for small cell lung cancer and has secured partnerships and investments from firms including YuanBio Venture Capital and Boryung Pharmaceutical.
