WHY EGBOGI?
The medicine is made here. The ingredients aren’t.
Most of the active ingredients behind everyday medicines are imported. That leaves Nigerian manufacturers exposed to currency swings, long supply chains and disruption abroad. Egbogi Therapeutics is changing that, with locally developed technology, original research and a new generation of African scientists.

Local Supply
From imported to made in Nigeria
Most active ingredients behind everyday medicines come from abroad. We’re building the capacity to make them here, starting with paracetamol.
2
Original Science
Antimalarial discovery programme
We combine computational design, synthesis, biological testing and structural biology to find medicines for the diseases that hit Africa hardest.

Trained Talent
Academy, coming soon
The proposed Egbogi Academy trains scientists in drug design and industrial-scale process chemistry, so the capability stays in Africa.

Platform I | API manufacturing
Made in Nigeria, from the first molecule.
We're building a local platform to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients, starting with paracetamol. Our microwave reactors make reactions faster and cleaner, and they're built to scale from pilot batches to industrial production.
