COVID-19 Update

As a healthcare company with longstanding experience in viral therapeutic development, we have a responsibility to determine whether our technologies may yield promising therapeutic candidates for COVID-19.

To this end, Aligos has expanded an existing license agreement with Luxna Biotech Inc., Ltd. granting Aligos exclusive rights to use Luxna’s innovative modified nucleic acid technology to target the genomes of certain viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19.

Additionally, Aligos has entered into a collaboration and license agreement with KU Leuven’s Centre for Drug Design and Discovery (CD3) and the Rega Institute for Medical Research, to develop a coronavirus protease inhibitor as a potential therapeutic candidate.

Aligos will provide updates regarding progress in these areas as appropriate.
