Welcome to AiCuris: The Powerhouse for Anti-infectives
“Committed to making the difference”
AiCuris is a pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, research and development of novel, resistance-breaking antiviral and antibacterial agents for the treatment of severe and potentially life-threatening infectious diseases.
Founded in 2006 as a spin-out from Bayer's virology and bacteriology research department, AiCuris is now an established “powerhouse for anti-infectives” and is one of the few biotech companies world-wide to have successfully brought a drug to market, and therefore to patients (Prevymis® 2017/18).
Today AiCuris has an innovative pipeline of anti-infective agents and a team of internationally recognized scientists in Research and Development. By focusing on therapeutic areas with high medical need, the company is positioned for growth and success.
BEAT-COV: Entwicklung COVID-19-Medikamente
|
| Initiative BEAT-COV fordert Unterstützung für Entwicklung und Produktion neuer, innovativer COVID-19-Medikamente |
- Sichere und hoch wirksame Medikamente sind dringend erforderlich, um COVID-19-Patienten zu versorgen und Krankenhäuser zu entlasten.
- Impfstoffe schützen vor Erkrankung, aber bereits Erkrankte benötigen dringend Medikamente für eine gezielte Therapie von Symptomen und eine Verbesserung der Überlebenschancen. Es fehlt die zielgerichtete Förderung von in der Entwicklung bereits fortgeschrittenen Medikamenten zur Behandlung von COVID-19.
- BEAT-COV (Biotech Emergency Alliance for Therapies against COVID-19) ist ein Zusammenschluss von vier deutschen, mittelständischen Biotechnologieunternehmen mit erfolgversprechenden COVID-19-Therapieansätzen in späten Phasen der klinischen Entwicklung.
