About Kodiak
Through innovative science and business, Kodiak Sciences is designing and developing novel therapies for the treatment of retinal diseases. As a rapidly growing biopharmaceutical company, we are working every day to build value for the benefit of our community of patients, physicians, employees, families, and vendors. We are looking to hire top talent who is comfortable with ownership and accountability of exciting programs while collaborating effectively with colleagues inside and outside the company.
Kodiak is a biopharmaceutical company committed to researching, developing and commercializing transformative therapeutics to treat high prevalence retinal diseases. We are focused on bringing new science to the design and manufacture of next generation retinal medicines to prevent and treat the leading causes of blindness globally. Our ABC Platform™ uses molecular engineering to merge the fields of antibody-based and chemistry-based therapies and is at the core of Kodiak's discovery engine. Kodiak's lead investigational medicine, tarcocimab, is a novel anti-VEGF antibody biopolymer conjugate under development for the treatment of high prevalence retinal vascular diseases. KSI-501 is our second investigational medicine, a first-in-class anti-IL-6, VEGF-trap bispecific antibody biopolymer conjugate designed to inhibit both IL-6 mediated inflammation and VEGF-mediated angiogenesis and vascular permeability. KSI-501 is being developed for the treatment of high prevalence retinal vascular diseases to address the unmet needs of extended durability and targeting disease biology beyond VEGF for differentiated efficacy. KSI-101, our third product candidate, is a novel anti-IL-6, VEGF-trap bispecific protein for the treatment of retinal inflammatory diseases. We are advancing our platform technology to embed small molecules and other active pharmaceutical ingredients for multifactorial diseases.
