ApoPharma Inc. evolved from the Innovative Drug Division of the Apotex family of companies. Our research focus is on the use of medicines to treat disorders caused or worsened by excessive iron or faulty processing of iron in cells in the body. These disorders include both generalized iron overload, which affects patients who must undergo repeated blood transfusions, and localized iron dysregulation in the brain, which underlies a number of neurological disorders such as pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration and Parkinson's disease.
