Jaguar is actively seeking business development opportunities to help advance potential new crofelemer indications from development through commercialization outside the US. We invite you to contact us to learn more about business development opportunities by clicking here.

Jaguar Health’s Business Development Advisory Committee (BDAC)

Our BDAC was formed in July 2022 to identify and assess opportunities for potential alliances, mergers, and acquisitions. Business development is a core focus at Jaguar, and we expect this committee to play a significant role in supporting our efforts to continue forging license and business development relationships in key markets around the globe for crofelemer, our pipeline within our product.

Committee Members:
