Company Description

Novacta Biosystems develops and markets drugs for the treatment of bacterial infections, especially those caused by drug resistant bacteria.

Leveraging the extensive knowledge of GSK's Biotransformation and Natural Products scientific team, Novacta Biosystems Ltd was founded in 2003. In the following 5 years, Novacta successfully adopted a dual business model, whereby it developed a biocatalysis and microbial pathway engineering service business, that supported its efforts to build an infectious disease therapeutic pipeline.
