Interesting Spotlighht video. And some interesting body language.
As a chemist by training who has worked with a group of brilliant scientists - folk who went on to head UK and global R&D in top pharma companies; head the Covid vaccine taskforce; and start and head numerous small biotech companies - on site-specific drug delivery, aka targetted drug delivery, I can tell you that these British guys at Avacta have found the Holy Grail of drug discovery - targetted sustained delivery.
We didn't succeed with our projects at the time because we didn't have the tech tools, especially computational chemistry, or the detailed biological knowledge 30-35 years ago that is available now, but it was a very forward-thinking initiative to tackle such a complex problem, so well done to the Avacta guys who have succeeded nbow! I look forward to seeing the patent(s) when published.
