Who We Are
We are an early stage Anglo-American biotech company with a novel and proprietary platform targeting viral protein synthesis.
Our drugs are designed to be effective for treatment resistant infections and rapidly mutating pathogens.
Our drugs are designed to treat influenza, hepatitis B, smallpox, COVID-19, and a further pipeline of viral pathogens.
Our development and manufacturing processes are proven, faster and more cost-efficient than those for biologics and vaccines.
Our drugs will be easy to administer and will be suitable for use as post-exposure prophylaxis.
