The Company

SIDANIS Pharma GmbH ("SIDANIS") is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers and develops drugs to prevent and treat infectious diseases in human and animal health.

SIDANIS is focused on preclinical and early clinical phases of drug development, spanning the pharmaceutical value chain from drug discovery to proof of efficacy and safety in clinical trials. Later steps will be carried out with co-operation partners.

The company was founded in Hamburg, Germany, and is privately owned. Until now, SIDANIS led its business without direct employees and laboratories and pursued its objectives through contract awards. After having achieved major development milestones recently, the operative business is planned to begin in 2021 when financing is secured.
