As a result, we have organized the Company around five key subsidiaries: Skunkworx Bio, Heat Biologics, Pelican Therapeutics, Elusys Therapeutics and Scorpion Biological Services. NightHawk is laser focused on addressing key industry challenges, including the slow pace and high cost of new drug development through a fully integrated ecosystem of drug discovery, preclinical testing and manufacturing.
