What we work on

Three areas, one standard of rigor.

Cardiometabolic

Therapies for heart, metabolic and vascular conditions, built around long-term patient adherence.

Immunology

Targeted modulation of immune pathways for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease.

Neurology

Early-stage discovery into neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory conditions.

In development

A pipeline built for the long run.

About HMBEI

Built in Denmark, working for patients everywhere.

HMBEI is an independent pharmaceutical company headquartered in Odense — a city with a long life-science tradition. We're small enough to move carefully, and focused enough to see a compound all the way from the bench to the people who need it.

Our path

From a small lab to a full pipeline.

2013

HMBEI is founded

Started by a small group of researchers in Odense focused on cardiometabolic disease.

2017

First compound enters clinical trials

HMB-088 becomes our first candidate to reach human studies.

2021

Immunology division opens

A dedicated team begins work on chronic inflammatory disease.

2024

Neurology research begins

Early discovery work starts into neurodegenerative conditions.

2026

12 compounds in active development

HMBEI continues to grow its pipeline across all three therapeutic areas.

What guides us

Four things we don't compromise on.

01

Rigor

Every result is checked twice before it's trusted once.

02

Care

The patient at the end of the process shapes every decision along it.

03

Transparency

We report what we find, including when it isn't what we hoped for.

04

Patience

Good medicine takes years. We plan for that, not around it.

Our home

Headquartered in Odense.

HMBEI
Rosenvej 39
5250 Odense
Denmark

Our Odense site houses research, regulatory and operations teams working alongside Denmark's wider life-science community.

Pipeline

From molecule to medicine.

Every HMBEI compound moves through the same disciplined path — discovery, preclinical safety work, then three phases of clinical study before it can reach patients.

Research & Development

Where curiosity meets rigor.

Our research groups work close together by design — chemistry, biology and clinical teams sit in the same building in Odense, so findings move quickly between the bench and the study.

Recent notes

From our research team.

RESEARCH NOTE

Rethinking dosing intervals in chronic cardiometabolic care

An internal review of how dosing schedules affect long-term adherence in our Phase II program.

COLLABORATION

Working with Nordic research hospitals on inflammatory disease

HMBEI's immunology team continues joint study design work with clinical partners across the region.

EARLY DISCOVERY

Screening for neuroprotective compounds

Our neurology group has begun early screening work as part of the HMB-317 and HMB-455 programs.
