About SHIFTBIO
SHIFTBIO (SBI) is a next-generation drug delivery platform biotech advancing cell-derived nanoparticle (NNP) therapeutics. Our NNP approach is enabled by the proprietary NNP Trinity, which integrates surface engineering (NSM Scaffold), AI-driven design (NNP Design AI), and scalable manufacturing (NNP Manufacturing).
This approach powers two delivery platforms. I-NNP (Immuno-NNP) targets oncology, fibrotic and autoimmune indications. B-NNP (Brain-NNP) is a dual-targeting brain shuttle that separates BBB crossing from cell-type-selective parenchymal uptake.
Pipeline: SBI-101 (oncology, FDA Pre-IND complete), SBI-102 (inflammation, FDA Orphan Drug Designation granted).
Co-founded by Prof. In-San Kim (MD/PhD) and CEO Gi-Hoon Nam (MD/PhD). We operate a US + Australia dual-region clinical entry strategy with a planned US subsidiary in the Boston/SF/Cambridge biotech hub.
