MOGAM is a private non-profit research foundation established to help people suffering from disease by contributing to the development of innovative medicines based on a scientific understanding of disease and therapeutics.

The story of the MOGAM began in 1984, founded on an endowment generated by the global success of Green Cross's Hepatitis B vaccine, the third of its kind developed in the world. Over the past four decades, we have been a cornerstone of Korea's biopharmaceutical advancement, systematically building the scientific knowledge, rigorous methodologies, and data-driven capabilities essential for drug discovery. In 2024, our 40th anniversary marked a pivotal milestone: a moment to build upon this profound heritage and redefine our purpose for the next era of medicine. Today, drug discovery is undergoing a monumental paradigm shift, driven by the powerful convergence of data and AI. Embracing this frontier, MOGAM accelerated its transformation into an AI-driven drug discovery institute in 2022. By placing computational power at our core, we are leveraging our advanced AI technologies to unprecedentedly enhance both the precision and speed of decision-making in the drug development process. Moving forward, MOGAM will continue to champion open innovation, serving as a vital nexus connecting academia and industry across the globe to advance AI-integrated therapeutics. Yet, at the heart of our cutting-edge technology remains a deeply human mission. Driven by a profound commitment to share the burden of even a single patient, we will be relentless in our fight against the diseases that threaten human health and well-being. Thank you.

MOGAM is opening a new era of AI drug discovery.

Over the past 40 years, MOGAM has set the standard for life sciences and drug discovery in Korea. Now, fueled by our rich heritage of scientific breakthroughs, we are taking on a new challenge: bridging the critical gap between AI and life sciences. While AI is rapidly transforming our world, applying its true potential to drug discovery is incredibly complex. This endeavor requires a triad of expertise: deep biological insight, elite data science capabilities, and real-world drug development experience. MOGAM is built to meet this exact challenge. We are nurturing hybrid experts equipped with both technical brilliance and biological insight, pushing beyond the hype. We refuse to use AI as just another tool. We are fully focused on solving the fundamental bottlenecks of drug development to bring real therapies to patients faster. As a non-profit foundation rooted in public service, we serve as an open arena where academia, healthcare, and industry unite. Our ultimate commitment is to ensure that the innovations born in our labs lead directly to a healthier future for humanity. Thank you.
