Funding Positive Developments in Tackling Covid-19

Recently, the Ahren team published a blog outlining some of the therapeutic routes and testing methods to tackle Covid-19.

We are researching this space carefully, looking to identify high calibre groups that have potential to deliver material impact in the current crisis. We are particularly keen to support novel therapeutics that the big pharma companies are unlikely to work on. In addition, the need for mass serological testing (antibody tests) is urgent and opportunities within this category are of particular interest.

We would look at:

Therapeutics

• Vaccines
• Small molecule antivirals
• Antibody based antivirals
• Therapies using convalescent plasma
• Side effect management e.g. anti IL-6 treatments

Testing

• Viral RNA tests
• Antibody tests

If you are working on one of the above areas, or another, please get in touch at info@ahren.co.uk.
