Initiation of evaluation project agreement with Imperial College London 

We were delighted to announce the signature of an evaluation agreement with Imperial College London. This agreement enables ValiRx to evaluate research relating to novel therapeutic candidates for cancer treatment. 
 
The agreement specifically focuses on investigating a lead series of dual-kinase inhibitor candidates that show promise in reversing resistance to the current standard of care therapeutics in ovarian and other types of cancer. Importantly, a similar approach has already been validated in clinical studies with other assets across a range of tumour types and it holds significant potential as a novel combination treatment.

BioEurope Spring 

ValiRx’s Mark Treharne and Inaphaea’s Dr Andrew Carnegie were pleased to attend EBD Group’s BioEurope Spring between 18 and 20 March in Barcelona. Supporting One Nucleus’ stand, the team had an incredibly productive time, meeting with delegates in the dedicated one to one sessions and listening to insights from the keynote speakers. 

Meet the Inaphaea commercial team 

Whilst ValiRx’s subsidiary Inaphaea BioLabs is led by science, it is backed by deep commercial understanding, and the team appreciates the challenges faced by drug developers. This is thanks to the strength of Inaphaea’s commercial team which combines business acumen and experience with scientific expertise.
