A global problem with a simple solution.

Today we live in a world where viruses and the diseases they cause, the lives they take, are not just front page news but they have changed the way we live our lives. Even before COVID-19 appeared, the biggest global threat, along with Climate Change, was a global pandemic. But coronaviruses aren't  the only viruses we need to deal with. A recent study found that worldwide up to 650,000 people die of respiratory diseases linked to seasonal Influenza each year, and up to 72,000 of these deaths occur in the WHO European Region. One model estimates that of 390 million dengue virus infections per year worldwide, 96 million manifest clinically with severe disease. Another study on the prevalence of dengue estimates that 3.9 billion people are at risk of infection from dengue viruses. COVID-19, Dengue and Influenza are causing economic disaster, suffering and death, the world over.

Our Solution.

Today we hear a lot about social distancing and vaccines, both critically important to fighting viral disease worldwide. But the third approach is treating the disease. The good news is, that we at Riotech Pharmaceuticals, believe there are drugs that can be developed that will fight most diseases caused by RNA viruses.
