Thanks - an interesting reference or two in this to Avact, e.g ...
We already have an established network of academic partners in numerous Universities and have had funding with industry eg Tecrea (Innovate feasability grant), Pfizer (CASE studentship), Fera (CASE studentship) and Avacta Life Sciences (CASE studentship, license agreement). Some of the Affimers generated in our laboratory for Avacta Life Science are available to purchase and we regularly screen targets for Avacta's industrial collaborators and clients. Some of our unpublished results have generated commercial interest and investment in the Affimer brand which recently helped Avacta fund raise for a therapeutic programme, some of which will be fed back into the academic projects at Leeds.
