Arakena Pharmaceuticals GmbH

From Molecule to Medicine – Meet the Team

Arakena Pharmaceuticals was founded in 2024 by two drug hunters and one business-development expert, who decided it was time to build something of their own. With over 60 years of combined pharma and biotech experience, we have contributed to five approved drugs and two more charging ahead in late-stage clinical trials. We have co-authored 100+ publications, filed over 60 patents families, and turned bold science into real medicine.
