About Synthena Pharmaceuticals
Synthena Pharmaceuticals is a pharmaceutical company founded in Hong Kong in July 2026. We work on one substance, PDRN, and we make it from plant cells and from microbes, never from animal tissue. Our target fragments are 20–80 base pairs, and every result keeps its history: the date, the sample, the instrument and the operator.
