Remote Medical Director Clinical Development Oncology

We apply specialized chemistry and biology to create novel treatments for human diseases. We particularly focus on building ribose-based molecules and we use structure-guided design to generate highly selective and efficacious drug candidates.

Nucleoside analogs are examples of ribose-based molecules that have become important drugs for the treatment of a number of viral diseases and cancers. Our library of nucleoside and non-nucleoside molecules is rationally designed to deliver drug candidates that are highly efficacious and highly selective for essential targets in the virology and oncology spaces.

We are a biotechnology company developing treatments for serious infectious diseases and cancer. We apply ribose and structure-guided design technologies to the discovery of drugs that target proteins that are essential and unique to specific infectious pathogens, tumor cells or the anti-tumor immune response.
