Ksilink has created a public-private Association, enabling seamless alignment from academic excellence to preclinical candidate development.
Today, the Association, allows the Ksilink company to get access to internationally renowned institutes, hospitals and platforms, with the mission to foster patient-based drug discovery for the pharmaceutical industry.

Staying at the cutting edge of clinical know-how and development
