Company Profile

 

Pivaris BioScience GmbH is a privately held Research & Development company focused on the development of novel peptides to treat viral infections.


Mission


 Discovery and development of novel anti-infective agents.



 

Research and Development


Viral infections are a global burden with only a limited number of antiviral agents available. Due to increasing resistance formation, there is a continuous need for additional therapeutic options.

A novel, broad-acting antiviral peptide targeting double-stranded DNA viruses such as herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, vaccinia virus, polyomavirus and adenoviruses has been identified. This first-in-class inhibitor is under evaluation for its use in the treatment of infections caused by double-stranded DNA viruses. The proprietary lead candidate of Pivaris BioScience GmbH is also being evaluated on various other virus models, including RNA viruses.
