He is known as Poirot in our house, Timster.

All the best.

Thanks, wildstar. Interesting.

victory, since free trade started we get these nearly every day now.

All the best.

I understand what he is saying but think that agreeing with the proposed date of schools reopening is the interesting point.

All the best.

Has gone from "Schools are closed, borders are open" to backing the reopening of schools on the 8th March after a meeting with Boris Johnson.

Prior to this he was pushing for schools to open earlier.

Could be nothing but an interesting change of tack nonetheless.

Given that this is Wikipedia it says quite a bit about Avacta:

leewill,

Yes. I have no doubt that a few of the recent RNSs have created an interest. Far more to be read into them than the immediate obvious in my opinion.

By my reckoning, only around 200 million shares out there for Joe Public less what interested parties start picking up on the back of AVA6000, stem cell therapies and renting out the IP.

All the best.

Just adding to leewill's excellent post on major shareholders.

The fact that none of the holdings of the major shareholders have reduced but the total shares in issue is higher (employee options I believe took place), then all of the major shareholders will have had to have been adding in order to maintain the same percentage holding. The fact that two have increased is very positive.

We also don't know how many were taken up by the MSCI fund when Avacta was added to it, again a positive.

As jdt mentioned, it is unlikely these funds would buy, let alone add, without due diligence and a sound belief in the IP.

No doubt that we have some "covid only" holders but the major investors aren't in that bracket.

In addition to institutional investors, there are known high net worth holders and the recent AffyXell preferred share buyers may also be thinking that both Daewoong and Avacta are worth considering given that they have invested in the joint venture between the two. At the current sp they might well see this as a bargain, as could a large pharma.

All background discussion, I know but should be of interest to all holders.

Higher? Best ask Brucie.

Not sold any and don't plan to until we sell things to Chinaah.

Was thinking more of a £7 to £14bn takeover bid.

Just been watching the chief scientific officer of the WHO.

She seems to have a different view on the likely effectiveness of vaccines against variants and warns that there will be many variants as the virus works out what is happening.

She also mentioned that test and trace is key whatever else is happening and that WHO have said about testing since the outset.

She also wants rich counties to give vaccines to poor countries as this is about tackling a world wide epidemic.

Great pulling together of the markets, ES.

£700bn might just make the Avacta IP worth 1 or 2% of that an attractive proposition to some global pharmas as well.

Indeed YP.

He'll be banging on about "the vaccines work" tonight but I reckon he knows he has to be able to "variant check" these and also understand protection levels and timescales more fully than the current headline numbers as viruses mutate to ensure their survival (clever little wotsits).

Completely agree, sleepydave.

The fifth pillar of the so called moonshot programme is the creation of UK therapeutic and diagnostic industries at scale.

This isn't just for covid as who knows what's coming next? As Avacta is a therapeutics and diagnostics company, I can't see how they would not be involved.

Looks like Biden will also be going this way as well.

All the best.

This Russian deserves his own thread as well.

He thinks the Bruker validation is likely to be first due to the Maldi Tof machines already being used worldwide.

If you click on view the presentation, there are a number of opportunities with this MSC collaboration.

...and won't be selling.

Sadly passed away.

What a star he he's been throughout this.
