About
ViroBlock is focused on developing anti-viral drugs. The company has developed a new platform for rapidly generating anti-viral drugs that target proteins. With ViroBlock's proprietary technology, it can identify targets in a new viral threat (or variant), develop inhibitors against it and determine the resistance potential of the virus against the new drug in record pace. ViroBlock's technology is based on its ability to inhibit viral ion channels, a particular vulnerability of pathogens.
