About Us

Since the 1950s, we have discovered and introduced several novel antibiotics, as well as innovative medications for HIV and influenza. Today, we are developing an investigational oral antiviral for COVID-19 and advancing clinical programs in Fragile X syndrome, acute ischemic stroke as well metabolic disorders and oncology.
Our team is driven to impact patient lives.
