Description
NanoViricides Inc. is a pre-clinical biotech company that develops drugs to combat viral infections. The Company designs nanoviricides that fool viruses into attaching to them in that same way that viruses typically attach to the receptors on a cell surface; once attached, the nanoviricide causes the virus to lose the protein coat it would need to bind to the human cell that it otherwise would, effectively neutralizing it without engaging the immune system. The Company has drug candidates against HIV, seasonal influenzas and bird flu, herpes, viral eye diseases, and dengue viruses, and has nominated a clinical candidate in its FluCide program. The research team at this earlier-stage biotechnology company possesses the combined expertise of having performed research, development, and regulatory processing for over 25 drugs, of which ten are approved.

Strategy
Develop and test drug candidates in animals, then file data with the FDA for permission to move to human trials. We will consider licensing each drug after the completion of Phase 2a human trials
Revenue / Funding
