Today we presented additional PK data from a Ph1 study of our #IBD candidate VE202 in healthy volunteers at #UEGweek. The new data focuses on the kinetics & durability of

It turns out the 80/20 rule applies to #COVID too, not just health care financing, where as few as 5-10% of infected patients are transmitting to 80% of the total

Stoked to report in @nature the discovery of prokaryotic viperins, which naturally produce diverse anti-viral molecules ! After providing us with antibiotics, bacteria might become sources of novel anti-viral drugs.
