Rani Therapeutics has developed the RaniPill™, a platform technology for the oral delivery of biologic drugs. Millions of patients with chronic conditions require biologic drugs that today can only be injected. These injections are painful and inconvenient and often affect both patient compliance and quality of life. The pharma industry has been searching for decades to convert injectables into pills, and we believe the solution is the RaniPill™ capsule. We have demonstrated bioavailability similar to subcutaneous injections in both preclinical and clinical studies. Rani has an internal pipeline of molecules, and active collaborations with Novartis and Takeda. The research and technology behind Rani Therapeutics came out of InCube Labs, a multi-disciplinary life sciences R&D lab focused on breakthrough medical innovations. InCube is led by Mir Imran, a prolific medical inventor, entrepreneur, and investor.
