New antibiotic company formed

February 6, 2006 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 84, Issue 6

Novartis' Sandoz unit has spun off its antibiotic R&D operations into a new company, Nabriva, which will be fueled by $50 million in financing from Nomura Phase4 Ventures, Global Life Science Ventures, the Wellcome Trust, HBM Partners, and Novartis' venture capital arm.

Its pipeline of antibacterial drugs includes three late preclinical projects and one product about to enter Phase I trials.
