We should see this moving up in the coming weeks as we move into Q4,
Unilever will continue to progress the developed Optimer binders through rigorous internal testing. It plans to initiate in-vivo efficacy studies before the end of 2024. A successful outcome from these trials will then lead to next steps in the partnership.
Dr Arron Tolley, Chief Executive Officer of Aptamer Group, said: "The continued advancement of our Optimer binders in collaboration with Unilever is a significant milestone for Aptamer Group. It showcases the versatility of our technology in providing unique solutions across new sectors, including cosmetics. We have collaborated closely with Unilever to develop these binders, and we are excited to see the strides being made towards their use in these novel deodorant applications. With efficacy testing on the horizon, we are optimistic about bringing these binders to market in the coming years and look forward to discussing commercial opportunities with Unilever upon successful trial outcomes."
