Carl Sterritt, Chief Executive Officer, LUNAC Therapeutics Limited, said:
“We are delighted that LUNAC has been shortlisted for these two prestigious accolades. Together with the recent publication in PNAS of one of our founders, Prof Philippou’s, latest academic research into the likely benefits of targeting Factor XII versus current targets in the coagulation cascade, these nominations clearly illustrate the considerable potential of LUNAC’s technology. Together with our investors, we believe the products LUNAC develops from this ground-breaking academic research will create a paradigm shift in the treatment of clot prevention and in doing so, transform patients’ lives with innovative, first-in-class, next generation oral anticoagulants by delivering much-needed therapeutic benefits without the bleeding risk associated with current anticoagulants.”
