Tackling Cardiovascular Disease with Heart

Cardurion is a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing new therapeutic approaches to address the leading cause of death worldwide – cardiovascular disease.

 

Our team has extensive expertise in cardiovascular biology, signaling pathways and drug discovery and development, and we translate that expertise into groundbreaking therapeutics.

Our goal is to build a world-class biotechnology company pursuing novel and important biological targets that impact causal biology in cardiovascular disease.

Leveraging our internal cardiovascular drug discovery and development team, as well as our business development capabilities, we have built a clinical-stage pipeline consisting of product candidates targeting phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII).

We are the first company to advance product candidates against these novel and important targets into clinical testing for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
