ViroStatics

ViroStatics srl develops drugs to overcome the underlying cellular perturbations common to cancer and viral diseases - dysregulation of cellular transcription and uncontrolled cell proliferation. To this end, ViroStatics has focused on selectively targeting the Cyclin Dependent Kinases (CDKs) involved in these perturbations (CDK9 and CDK4/6).
History
ViroStatics was formed In 2007 as a for-profit spin-off from the Research Institute for Human and Genetic Therapy (RIGHT), a US-based corporation pursuing innovative antiviral therapies and vaccine research.
Led by CEO Franco Lori, MD, PhD, ViroStatics has its corporate headquarters in Sassari (Sardinia) Italy, R&D laboratories in the Science and Technology Park of Sardinia (Sardegna Ricerche) in Alghero (Sardinia) and Business Development offices in North America.
