Cytokinetics is dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of a novel class of therapeutics resulting from its leadership position in the emerging field of cytoskeletal pharmacology. The cytoskeleton is a complex, dynamic framework that impacts all aspects of cell function including cell division, cell motility, intracellular transport, muscle contractility and regulation of cellular organization. Cytokinetics’ R&D efforts aim to address pharmaceutical needs in cancer, cardiovascular and infectious diseases and feature proprietary Cytometrix™ cellular phenotyping technologies designed to industrialize cell biology for increased speed and productivity in drug discovery and development. Cytokinetics and GlaxoSmithKline have entered into a broad strategic collaboration to discover, develop and commercialize novel small molecule therapeutics targeting mitotic kinesins for applications in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
