As a result of the transaction, the acquired company has been renamed BioNTech R&D (Austria).

PhagoMed is an Austrian biotechnology company specializing in the development of a new class of antibacterials.
"Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains an urgent global threat and, as a society, we desperately need novel and more precise drugs," former PhagoMed CEO Alexander Belcredi commented. "We’re proud that we can now continue our fight against AMR as part of BioNTech, for the benefit of millions of patients."
The Herbst Kinsky team was led by Partner Christoph Wildmoser.
