HLB innoVation Co Overview

About HLB innoVation Co

HLB Innovation is a South Korean company within HLB Group that develops cell and gene therapies. It entered the cell therapy business in earnest in 2024 by acquiring Verismo Therapeutics, a US cell therapy developer whose KIR-CAR platform underpins a CAR-T candidate for solid tumors that has reported interim Phase 1 data. Brian Kim is chief executive of both HLB Innovation and Verismo. The company is building a separate base for research, development and commercialisation in Korea and Asia, and in August 2026 agreed to buy 99.30 percent of HLB Cell, a cell and regenerative medicine company, from HLB Life Science for KRW 36.2 billion. The purchase forms part of a restructuring in which HLB Group aligns each affiliate around core businesses, alongside the merger of HLB Science into drug development operations and the acquisition of Shinhwa Advance by HLB Pharmaceutical. Value is expected to come from technology transfers, co-development and licensing of its cell therapy pipeline.
