Past deals in Austria

G.ST Antivirals

Series A in 2024
G.ST Antivirals GmbH is a clinical-stage biotechnology company based in Vienna, Austria, founded in 2019. It specializes in developing antiviral therapies and metabolic solutions targeting respiratory viruses that cause common colds and flu infections. The company's innovative approach involves using a host cell-based strategy to create broad-spectrum antivirals. Its lead therapy utilizes 2-deoxyglucose to disrupt the viral exploitation of host cell metabolism, thereby impeding viral replication both in vitro and in vivo, particularly against rhinoviruses. This method aims to starve viruses by interrupting their nutrient supply, offering a novel treatment for patients with viral diseases.
