Name

Why the Name “Togontech”?

The name Togontech is chosen in reference to Togo, a Siberian Husky who played a crucial yet often underrecognized role in the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska.

Togo led his team across the most challenging and longest leg of the journey — more than 260 miles — to help deliver life-saving diphtheria antitoxin (antibodies) to patients during a severe outbreak.

In the spirit of this perseverance and strength, Togontech is dedicated to accelerating the development of antibody-based therapies and ensuring their rapid and reliable delivery to patients in need. Our name, Togontech, is a reference to what can be achieved through perseverance, teamwork, and purpose — especially when time and precision matter most.
