1、2018Annual ReportGroundbreakingCancer TherapiesMoleculin is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of highly resistant cancers.These resistant cancers range from deadly glioblastoma brain tumors to acute myeloid leukemia,pancreatic cancer,among others.Our diverse pipeline o
2、f technologies was built around the recognition that treatment resistant tumors tend to have a common set of traits,including specific multidrug resistant mechanisms,an evasion of the natural immune system,a marked upregulation of certain key oncogenic transcription factors and an increased dependen
