University of Tokyo: Pepti Dream Inc., the company he cofounded, has inked deals with many of the world biggest pharma firms, and shares have surged more than ninefold since listing in 2013, according to The Japan Times. Everybody comes to Pepti Dream, Suga, 53, said in an interview from his office deep in the main campus of the University of Tokyo. Many years spent fiddling with the building blocks of the universe — combining molecules to form compounds — led to Suga developing an enzyme that opened the door to a faster method of discovering drugs. An electric guitar hangs from his wall. I might go back to looking for the origin of life after I retire. Everybody probably accepts now that the technology we developed is very, very smart, very efficient, he said.
