About Pharma²⁸

A biotech built for the hardest part of the journey.

We exist because scientific promise still fails to reach patients in rare and ultra-rare disease. Our work is to change the structural reasons why.

Company overview

Who we are

Pharma²⁸ is a biotech and health technology company focused on rare and ultra-rare disease.

We combine regulatory execution, clinical infrastructure and a proprietary data intelligence layer to translate innovation into access across Brazil and internationally.

Mission

Our mission

To build the infrastructure — clinical, regulatory, technological — that lets rare disease innovation reach the patients it was designed for.

Positioning

How we differ

We are not a distributor. We are not a consultancy. We are an operating platform that owns the coordination between therapeutic developer, clinical system, regulator, data infrastructure and patient community — end to end.

Our principles

Five principles

  1. 01

    Science Before Narrative

    Evidence sets the story, not the other way around.

  2. 02

    Local Depth, Global Fluency

    Brazilian execution shaped by international scientific standards.

  3. 03

    Data With Governance

    Rigor, consent and transparency in every data workflow.

  4. 04

    Partnership, Not Handoff

    We remain accountable across the entire pathway.

  5. 05

    Evidence Over Assumption

    Real-world data disciplines every access decision.

Brazil first, global by design

Brazil is our operating base. Boston is our scientific corridor. The rest of the world is our reference standard.
