“We are pleased with the results generated by Ceva. Not only do they confirm the potential of UNI836 in canine pyoderma, providing an innovative approach to an unmet medical need in veterinary care, but the data also provide strong support for the chemistry platform in human health”, states Dr. Morten Sommer, Chief Scientific Officer of UNION, and continues: “We look forward to advancing the collaboration with Ceva, and to further elucidate the potential of the platform across a broader spectrum of indications.”
