About Me

Park Soon-jae is cofounder and CEO of South Korean biotechnology company Alteogen, which focuses on biosimilars and bio-betters. Alteogen is known for its ALT-B4, an enzyme with technology that allows drugs to be administered subcutaneously instead of intravenously. In 2024, Alteogen revealed Merck had agreed to a licensing deal to use ALT-B4 for the drug giant's cancer drug pembrolizumab. Alteogen shares soared 25% in a day following the announcement. Park's wife, Chung Hye-shin, served as the company's chief strategy officer until 2023.
