Mark Eccleston, CEO of ValiRx commented "It's great to see the peer reviewed articles we're submitting with our various collaborators being accepted whilst also being invited to submit op-ed pieces to trade journals, present at leading industry conferences and sit on expert panels. This really shows that the work we're doing is timely and relevant, which is particularly true of our NAMs platforms and the immune-oncology applications for our oncolytic peptide programme. Having the opportunity to showcase our work in front of industry leaders in this way is vital to our partnering strategy. In particular, The AACR Annual Meeting is the focal point of the cancer research community, where scientists, clinicians, other health care professionals, survivors, patients, and advocates gather to share the latest advances in cancer science and medicine. The meeting will be well attended by all the major pharma companies providing a great platform to update the leading industry players on our various programmes. The relationship with TwinEdge has been extremely fruitful."
