Cerexa, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest Laboratories, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a growing portfolio of novel anti-infective therapies for the treatment of serious and life-threatening infections.
The ultimate goal of our dedicated team of employees is to advance research for treatments of serious and life-threatening infections.
At the time of our company’s founding in 2005, we focused our energy on advancing our lead product candidate‚ ceftaroline fosamil. In 2007, we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest Laboratories.
They are also developing an intravenous non-beta-lactamase inhibitor, NXL104, to be used in combination with ceftaroline.

ScreeningAfter defining the need and sourcing, Cerexa
moves onto the screening process. The different types of assessments used are based on the job the candidate will be filling.
Since screening takes a lot of time Cerexa uses various but consistent methods to narrow down the candidate pool.
