NightHawk Biosciences is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company specializing in the end-to-end development and commercialization of innovative medical countermeasures that combat unmet and emerging biothreats. NightHawks discovery subsidiary, Skunkworx Bio, enhances NightHawks ability to identify candidates for drug development, while NightHawks biomanufacturing subsidiary, Scorpius BioManufacturing, Inc. (Scorpius), provides internal bioanalytical, process development and biomanufacturing capabilities that support NightHawks pipeline and commercial assets. Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. (Elusys) supports NightHawks goal of innovating in the biodefense sector by adding expertise in developing and delivering life-saving medical countermeasures, including our commercially available anthrax antitoxin ANTHIM® (obiltoxaximab ). Collectively,  this ecosystem is designed to increase the efficiency of drug development and accelerate the capability to combat infectious disease.

During the past year, NightHawks priorities have shifted to biodefense and biomanufacturing capabilities resulting in a refocusing of resources and efforts towards biodefense and biomanufacturing and away from clinical-stage oncology assets including HS-110 and PTX-35.
