Kucera Wins Federal Grant

Kucera Pharmaceutical Co., whose cash crunch last year forced it to close its research and administrative offices in Winston-Salem, has won a $100,000 federal grant to pursue medical research of respiratory diseases. Kucera, which was spun out in 2001 from Wake Forest University Health Sciences and the School of Pharmacy at UNC-Chapel Hill, is developing small molecules that act as antiviral agents in medicine.
