SuperTrans Medical announced Mediforum Pharm will make a $2 million investment in SuperTrans. In return, Mediforum will collaborate with SuperTrans in the manufacturing and commercialization of SuperTrans' products in Asia, including South Korea, China, and Japan. Additionally, Mediforum will fully commit and support SuperTrans' future drug development programs. The SuperTrans technology was discovered by chemists Prof. Paul A Wender (Professor of Chemistry, School of Humanities and Sciences, and by courtesy, of Chemical and Systems Biology Stanford Medical School, Stanford University) and Prof. Lynette Cegelski (Professor of Chemistry, School of Humanities and Sciences), both on the Scientific Advisory Board of the company.
