Our Story

Pioneering the Fight Against AMR

CSA Biotechnologies was founded in 2012 with a singular mission: to develop novel antimicrobial therapies that can effectively combat the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Our technology platform is based on Ceragenins - a class of synthetic molecules that mimic the body's natural antimicrobial peptides while offering improved stability and manufacturability.

With over two decades of research and development, we have built a robust pipeline of drug candidates targeting high unmet medical needs, from diabetic foot ulcers to serious fungal infections.

Today, we continue to advance our clinical programs while making our technology available through our veterinary product line, bringing the benefits of Ceragenin science to animal health.
