PHENEX PHARMACEUTICALS

Phenex Pharmaceuticals AG was founded in 2002. It is a privately held drug discovery & development company based in the Biotech Cluster Rhine-Neckar with Biology and Chemistry laboratories and offices primarily in Heidelberg and partly in Ludwigshafen. Their company focuses its small-molecule drug discovery expertise in Liver and Gastrointestinal disease areas and has now recently entered the field of Cancer Therapy. They not only devise novel therapeutics for known targets but additionally aim... to identify novel molecular mechanisms. This provides the basis for the identification of novel small molecules with "game changing" capabilities. Historically, Phenex has identified two of such novel mechanisms from literature and has translated them into proprietary novel therapeutic small molecules.More
