About the company

Kupando is a pioneering biopharmaceutical company developing TLR 4/7 agonists that stimulate innate immunity for use in oncology and infectious diseases.
The Company uses its small molecule-based drug candidates to build a pipeline in several indications, in-house or via strategic partnerships, as single agent, or in combination with checkpoint inhibitors, other drugs or antigens. Its drug candidate KUP101 is the only TLR 4/7 agonist in development and consists of two small molecules, TLR4 agonist and TLR7 agonist, co-encapsulated. IND-enabling work is on-going for treatment of solid tumors and prophylaxis of infectious diseases.
Kupando is a private company, seed financed by its CEO Johanna Holldack and based on technology invented by Dennis Carson’s Laboratory at the University of California San Diego.
The Company’s management team brings a unique wealth of experience in business and drug development, gained in the US and Europe.
Kupando is headquartered in Schoenefeld, Germany.
