Kinvard Bio
Biotechnology company developing a novel class of ribosome-targeting small-molecule antibiotics through a synthetic chemistry platform. The organization focuses on discovery and preclinical development of oral and intravenous antibacterial candidates with broad-spectrum activity and designed to evade common resistance mechanisms. Programs target acute and chronic, drug-resistant infections including hospital- and community-acquired pneumonias, complicated urinary tract infections, and nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease.
