About Us
Greenfire Bio (GFB)
GFB is an oncology focused clinical stage biopharma company that looks to collaborate with, in-license or acquire early-stage assets and develop them through clinical proof-of-concept and beyond. As we access new assets, we set up new subsidiaries to provide the focus required to advance these into and through the clinic.
How we build success
Medical innovations are precious and exciting and come from all over. Making a good idea in medicine into a product is a difficult and expensive process. It requires expertise and capital often not available for startups completing laboratory proof-of-concept.
That’s where Greenfire comes in. We have assembled highly experienced team of pharmaceutical experts bolstered by a network of advisors and service providers to deploy on late pre-clinical and early clinical assets to accelerate their development into products.
Our extensive network seeks out exciting innovations, engages flexibly with innovators, and accelerates the transition to medical products. We take the unappreciated risks out of development – timely access to expertise and capital. If you think you have an innovation that fits our profile, contact us.
