I'm considering to set up a company to design vaccines and immunotherapies which are more efficient. The idea is that current vaccine vectors are great, but choice of antigens and adjuvants is too simplistic. It'd be a complement to Moderna, and all other market incumbents like GSK or Sanofi.

Currently based in Cambridge but, paradoxically, having trouble to find good partners. I have previously worked in Oxford and developed methods which are used and cited by other patents in the field. I also have generated some validation data in vivo. All these things should greatly facilitate raising VC.

I'm looking for very ambitious CS, statistics and bio backgrounds to work with me as cofounders. Contact details on profile. The company doesn't need to be based in the UK.
