Hardman Res.: R&D accelerated to advance assets

R&D accelerated to advance assets - Avacta is the proprietary owner of Affimer technology for the development of bio-therapeutics, diagnostic tests and research reagents. Affimers represent a radical alternative to established antibody technology which dominates the drug industry, despite its limitations. Avacta has made considerable progress towards its strategic goal to be ready to enter first-in-man Affimer trials by the end of 2019. Recent results highlighted significant progress made in its in-house therapeutic programmes with the first in-vivo studies showing safety, tolerability and efficacy of an Affimer. This adds to the de-risking of Affimer technology and attracting potential partners.
