Our Science

KatheraBio’s antifungal technology targets cellular enzymes that play an essential role in pathways regulating fungal growth and pathogenicity. Chemical genomic experiments indicate that the enzymes are also critically important for fungal cell wall biosynthesis and/or stress responses. We believe that targeting these cellular enzymes and pathways will lead to opportunities to develop innovative next generation antifungal monotherapies, or agents that can be used in combination therapies to synergistically treat infections caused by drug-resistant fungi.  To learn more about our science, contact us.
