NEWS • 42% of employees surveyed who have experienced menopause symptoms feel uncomfortable talking to anyone at work about it. • 46% of employees going through the menopause have taken time off because of symptoms. • Nearly 3 in 10 (29%) of these did not state the reason for their absence and / or gave another reason for their absence. • 81% of employers think they would do well at supporting colleagues with menopause in the workplace. • 53% of employers now offer support for menopause. • More than two thirds (69%) of employers extend menopause support to family members. • 74% of employers feel equipped supporting employees with menopause symptoms. Aviva – one of the UK’s leading Insurance, Wealth, and Retirement businesses – has published new research today from its Working Lives campaign (1) which reveals that despite employers focusing on menopause, there’s still work to do to remove the stigma associated with menopause in the workplace. Over two in five UK employees are uncomfortable talking to anyone at work about menopause Eight in ten (81%)* employers surveyed think they would do well at supporting employees with menopause in the workplace. Nearly three quarters (74%)* of employers said they felt equipped to support employees with menopause symptoms. Under half (44%) have actively supported a colleague and of those almost nine in ten (89%)* felt they had done well. Almost three quarters (72%)* of employees have sought help for menopause symptoms but only a small proportion of those sought help through their work (6%), compared to a quarter (25%) who have spoken to friends and/or family members. Under half (45%) sought help from a GP*, and a similar number (39%) did their own research online and / or through TV programmes*. More than two in five (42%)* employees surveyed would be uncomfortable talking to anyone at work about menopause. Over half (55%)* of employees said that they would not feel comfortable talking to their manager and just over 1 in 7 (15%) said they had not sought support from their manager because they would be embarrassed. Over 2 in 5 (46%)* of employees have taken time off for menopause symptoms. However, nearly 3 in 10 (29%)* of these did not state the reason for their absence and / or gave another reason for their absence. The main symptoms for taking time off include stress and anxiety (29%), migraine (26%), exhaustion (26%) and heavy periods (25%). Dr Subashini M, Medical Director, Aviva UK Health says: “With over half of employers surveyed saying they offer menopause support and more than two thirds extending that support to family members, it’s clear that positive changes are being made to how menopause is supported in the workplace. “However, our Working Lives research highlights worrying behaviours which may impact employers’ abilities to measure the true impact of menopause on sickness absence in their workplace. It’s concerning to see that nearly three in ten employees who’ve taken time off because of menopause symptoms, don’t feel that they can give the real reason
NEWS 1nhaler, a Scotland-based drug delivery device developer, has raised £2 million to develop its unique single-use dry powder inhaler (DPI). Inhalable medicines are already widely used to treat conditions such as asthma, epilepsy, allergies and Parkinson’s but, to date, delivery options have been limited due to user accessibility, cost, performance and impact on the environment. 1nhaler has developed a way of enabling many different dry powder drugs to be readily delivered in a sustainable, low-cost delivery device. Other inhalers are typically made from bulky plastic and are expensive to manufacture and distribute. 1nhaler’s revolutionary sustainable DPI is cardboard-based with the same dimensions as a credit card. The discreet platform technology includes a breathable membrane which can be tailored to deliver individual drugs to patients. Investment will allow 1nhaler to work with innovative companies around the world, allowing them to bring new and existing drugs to patients in a more efficient and affordable way, opening up the next generation of inhaled products. The funding round was led by Archangels with support from Dr Yusuf Hamied, British Business Investments (BBI) and seed investors. Dr Hamied, nonexecutive Chairman of Indian pharmaceutical giant Cipla, is globally respected in the field pioneering the manufacture of affordable drugs for developing countries to fight AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Based in Edinburgh, the company was founded by Don Smith and Lisa McMyn in 2017. They have assembled a team of industry experts, with decades of experience taking inhaled products to market, including Chief Scientific Officer Helen Muirhead who had responsibility for GSK’s blockbuster respiratory portfolio, including the Diskus and Ellipta inhalers. Lisa McMyn, founder and Chief Executive Officer at 1nhaler, said: “Our DPI has the potential to become the simplest, most convenient single-dose, disposable inhaler on the market, revolutionising the delivery of critical drugs, without the cost and environmental impact of existing devices. “Securing funding from Archangels is invaluable for the next steps in the 1nhaler’s development. Their life sciences expertise and patient capital approach are exactly what we’re looking for in a funding partner.” Dr Sarah Hardy, Director and Head of New Investments at Archangels, said: “Don, Lisa and the team at 1nhaler have developed a truly innovative technology platform with a clear route to market and opportunity to positively disrupt the status quo of single-dose medicine delivery”. “We’re proud to add 1nhaler to our portfolio of Scotland’s leading life sciences and technology businesses and look forward to working with them to increase the availability of life-saving drugs affordably and sustainably.” Operating for over 30 years, Archangels’ investor members have invested over £160 million in the most innovative early-stage companies with disruptive technology, protectable IP and the potential to scale globally. Archangels has enjoyed a number of significant exits in recent years, including the sale of medical AI business, Blackford Analysis, to Bayer Pharma earlier in the year and the sale of optical platform business, Optoscribe, to Intel Corporation in 2022. 1nhaler raises £2 million to develop single-use sustainable inhaler for their absence. While employers are working hard to foster a more inclusive workplace, it’s apparent that stigmas still exist.” As well as highlighting some worrying behaviours, the research offered useful insight into what employers could do to improve the situation. Almost three quarters (71%)* of employees surveyed agreed that they would feel more comfortable speaking to female colleagues and 65% said they would prefer to speak to someone of a similar age. Just over half (52%) said they would be more comfortable speaking to someone who understands their culture.* Flexible working (35%) and wellbeing support (28%) topped employees’ wish lists when it came to other support employers could provide in relation to menopause. Over a fifth (21%) of employees said they wanted better education about menopause for the whole workforce, the ability to speak to someone in confidence (22%), and a culture that encouraged people to speak more openly about menopause in the workplace (21%). Dr Subashini M continued: “The research findings demonstrate the importance of building a culture of trust that encourages open and honest conversations about menopause and developing a support strategy that considers employee’s individual needs. Only then will all parties reap the benefits.”
6 he central function of an animal’s immune system is to adaptively respond to a foreign target such as an invading pathogen through a process of diversification and selection that produces novel antibodies with high affinity, specificity, and expression. The human body has approximately a billion different antibodies circulating in the bloodstream, and an iterative process preferentially selects those that are naturally optimized to neutralize an antigen. Drug developers have attempted to imitate this highly sophisticated biological process to produce therapeutic antibodies against pathogens and human targets using synthetic methods, yet, as of the end of 2022, 90% of regulatory-approved antibodies for human use have been derived from natural sources. This strong track record, industry momentum, and significant government investment has driven continued interest in antibody discovery, development, and methods that are continually sought to make the process more efficient. Historically, most approved therapeutic antibodies have been sourced from the immunization of animals necessitating subsequent ex-vivo engineering to humanize them to reduce their risk of immunogenicity and toxicity in humans. These additional OmniAb’s mission is to enable the rapid development of innovative antibody therapeutics by providing its leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners with cutting-edge antibody discovery technologies. By combining the expansive and diverse antibody repertoires generated from OmniAb’s groundbreaking four-species, in vivo discovery platform, with its cutting-edge, high-throughput screening tools and in silico capabilities, the company is delivering on its commitment of helping the industry discover the next-generation of therapeutic antibodies. Best Therapeutic Antibody Discovery Company 2023 - USA downstream steps can increase cost, time, and technical risks associated with a discovery or development program. Sourcing therapeutic antibodies from transgenic animals that have been engineered to produce human antibody sequences is an elegant solution to this problem because it harnesses the biological processes of animal immune systems to generate naturally optimized antibodies while simultaneously producing them in a human form, requiring minimal to no ex-vivo engineering. “The historical success rates for antibodies have been better than small molecules and the industry as a whole is also getting better at developing antibody-based medicines,” comments Matt Foehr, CEO of OmniAb, Inc. “Our technological platform, with its efficient nature and wide-ranging results, aims to overcome the industry challenges that remain. It provides partners with antibody candidates based on unparalleled biological diversity, which we believe, over time, shorten discovery timelines, reduce costs, and considerably improve the chances of success.” Leveraging Biological IntelligenceTM for Diverse Antibody Discovery Solutions With a team of world-renowned scientists at the helm, OmniAb has created an industry-leading portfolio of unique, transgenic animal hosts that provide diverse repertoires of humanized antibody candidates. This is all possible through the harnessing of Biological Intelligence, which refers to the ability of genetically engineered animals to generate optimized antibodies that can be developed into therapeutics. When paired with the company’s advanced screening technologies, it allows biopharmaceutical partners to discover highly promising antibody therapeutic candidates. Through natural optimization and minimal ex-vivo engineering, the antibodies generated have desirable affinity, specificity, developability, and functional performance. At the core of OmniAb’s Biological Intelligence are OmniRat®, OmniMouse®, and OmniChicken®, all of which have been genetically modified to generate human antibodies, designed to accelerate the development of human therapeutic candidates. OmniRat® was launched in 2012 and produces a diverse repertoire of antibodies containing human idiotypes and immunological characteristics comparable to antibodies found in wild-type animals. As of the end of September 2023, three approved antibodies are OmniRat derived, and an additional 23 are in clinical development through partner organizations. OmniMouse followed in 2014 and was designed using the same transgenes as its predecessor to deliver fully human antibodies. For partners preferring to work with mice, this platform offers a T Jul23706 Matt Foehr, CEO
GHP Q4 2023 rapid solution to deliver fully human antibodies. OmniChicken was unveiled in 2016, the first engineered bird with an immune system that can efficiently create human sequence antibodies. Its evolutionary distance from humans and rodents enables the generation of diverse, affinity-matured antibodies against antigens that may be non-immunogenic in other mammals. Two antibodies – one derived from OmniMouse and one derived from OmniChicken – are in clinical development by OmniAb’s partners. Finally, OmniTaurTM, launched in 2020, provides cow-derived ultralong CDR-H3 antibodies that contain a human framework, enabling the discovery of antibody sequences that can access deep or cryptic epitopes due to their smaller size and unique domain features. OmniTaur seeks to provide a solution to an industry-wide problem: targeting ion channels, transporters, and viral protein epitopes, inaccessible to conventional antibodies. OmniAb offers the most diverse host systems available in the antibody discovery sector. Together, OmniAb’s four-species platform harnesses the power of each animal’s unique immune recognition capabilities to generate diverse antibody repertoires, allowing a multi-angled approach to antibody discovery for the benefit of its partners’ campaigns. Development of Bi- and Multi-specific Therapeutic Antibodies OmniAb has also generated animal hosts for binding dual or multiple therapeutic targets. Both OmniFlic® and OmniClic® are commonlight-chain rats and chickens, respectively, specifically designed to generate desirable candidates and facilitate development of bispecific antibodies. Three bispecific antibodies derived from OmniFlic are in clinical development. Recently, the company expanded its multi-specific antibody discovery platform, with the generation of Omni dAb™, the first and only transgenic chicken, capable of producing human singledomain antibodies. These antibodies have an array of benefits for therapeutic development, including leveraging modularly to efficiently design multi-specific antibodies for a wide range of human diseases. Coupled with the benefits of chicken-based antibody discovery, Omni dAb represents a powerful new tool for targeting distinct epitopes and accessing new treatment modalities. “There are a multitude of opportunities for single-domain antibodies due to the small and modular nature of the scaffold,” says Bill Harriman, Senior Vice President of Antibody Discovery at OmniAb, Inc. “And with the attributes that are built into our Omni dAb chicken platform, we are well positioned to accelerate the discovery of unique therapeutic molecules in this space.” Bill Harriman, PhD- Sr. Vice President, Antibody Discovery Kristen Chan- Antibody Discovery & Technology Sr. Research Associate

14 GHP Q4 2023 Nov23227 The latest game-changing product from Fjord Diagnostics Sdn Bhd is the HPV Urine Rapid Antigen Test Kit, boasting the claim of being the world’s first self-collection HPV testing method for the screening of Cervical Cancer Risk, providing real-time test results in 1530 minutes, eliminating the need for any of the embarrassment or discomfort that may arise from clinician-taken cervical smear and pelvic examination. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, people across the world have become comfortable and familiar with the idea of self-testing kits, and thanks to Fjord Diagnostics, cervical cancer screening can now be checked using similar technology. This easy-to-use testing kit uses a urine sample, the preferred sample collection of choice for women. This test kit employs the use of the Fjord Diagnostics’ proprietary patented SEDIPREP® Sample Preparation Technology in the pre-concentration of collected HPV urine viral load of up to > 40x, transforming the initial collected urine sample into its final HPV viral load concentration that is now suitable for lateral flow assays. First-void urine samples can serve as game changers in the field of HPV-based cervical cancer screenings, and with Fjord Diagnostics’ HPV Urine Rapid Antigen Test comes the advantage of an easy self-collection of urine sample combined with the eradication of any embarrassment or discomfort from a clinician-taken cervical smear. This testing kit will appeal to those health-conscious women already attending cervical cancer screenings, as well as the under-screened women who are perhaps afraid, embarrassed, or cannot find the time to go. It is estimated that between 60 and 70% of the female population in the age range of 30-65 had previously been hesitant to visit a clinic for a pelvic examination and cervical smear test, primarily for the reasons of discomfort, embarrassment, or cultural taboo, so this testing kit may cause a shift in how cervical cancer screening is carried out. Having HPV does not necessarily mean that a person will develop cancer, as there are more than 100 types of the HPV virus, yet only 14 of these are associated with cancer. However, early detection not only helps to treat cervical abnormalities and any existing cancer but can act also as a vital preventative measure. Over time, cervical cancer screening strategies have evolved massively, initially starting out as cytology-based prior to HPV being identified as the cause of cervical cancer, and the subsequent introduction of tests to help detect it. A self-testing kit is the next step in this natural evolution, and Fjord Diagnostics succeeded in its aim to develop a self-collection test that was simple, rapid, and costeffective. Much like the Covid-19 rapid tests, the pre-concentrated urine specimen is mixed with a fluid before being squeezed onto a test card, with results shown in the form of C and T lines, with one line indicating a negative result, two lines a positive one, and with no line on C invalidating the test. Each kit includes one individual test card, one urine container, one SEDIPREP® Sample Preparation device for HPV viral load preconcentration, one extraction tube, one dropper pipette, and one packaging insert complete with instructions. The test should only be used for a qualitive diagnosis and is suitable for detecting cervical pre-cancer and cancer caused by hrHPV. Following on from a positive result, a diagnosis should be confirmed by a physician only after all clinical and laboratory findings have been evaluated fully. Thanks to Fjord Diagnostics’ SEDIPREP® reverse filtration process technology platform, technological advancement in the field of sample preparation of body fluid for analysis has never been so efficient and effective. The company boasts a recovery yield of up to 99%, standardised preparation, a quick turnaround, and ease of use across its systems, most abundantly clear in “the SEDIPREP® advantage” which comes into play when comparing the company’s SEDIPREP® method with that of the error-prone centrifugation method. With four simple steps, the higher recovery yield of investigative analytes can be garnered, making the SEDIPREP® method the best choice for separating investigative analytes from the liquid sample for analysis purposes. Ultimately, Fjord Diagnostics has unveiled a revolutionary new selftesting kit that makes testing for a preventable disease like cervical cancer quick, easy, and able to be carried out from the privacy of one’s own home. This innovation is sure to be the first in a long line of self-testing treatments for cancers and other such diseases, and by spotting the signs early through these tests, treatment has the best possible chance of eradicating the illness, allowing life to be lived to the fullest.

15 GHP Q4 2023 upply Life invites its customers to make the necessary changes that their bodies need, and pledges to help those suffering from conditions brought on as a result of intolerances to certain foods. With its simple process, customers can begin to notice an easing of their symptoms after just days of making key changes to their diet. Bolstered by a team of expertly qualified nutritionists, any suggestions made will fit in with a client’s lifestyle and are certain to show results. More than 100 five-star reviews on the company site from customers, doctors, and coaches solidify the company’s claims, and make it the ultimate choice for those tackling the daily struggle of food intolerance. Supply Life’s easy-to-use home food intolerance test kit offers rapid results that are delivered within 7 days, and all samples are tested twice in the company’s Cambridge-based lab, done to ensure the findings are, “as accurate as possible”, explains Jack. Each customer is then provided a 12-page report and the business will test more than 200 different foods against the sample to see what food is best for their body. Founder Ricky Singh struggled with IBS for many years, and it was his desire to do something about this that set the wheels in motion for the establishment of Supply Life, which today helps hundreds of thousands of people manage their health effectively. After countless hours of studying his condition, Ricky realised that the key to managing his IBS was to cut the foods out of his diet that threw his metabolism off balance, and only eat the foods that he could easily digest. From here, the evolution of the endeavour was natural, and soon Ricky and his team had developed a test that cleverly identifies any food IgG antibodies in a blood sample binding to a food extract, thus indicating whether or not these antibodies are present. The innovative software then produces a unique printout of the results, matching the antibody result to each of the requested foods to outline what causes the issue. When a particular food causes high levels of these IgG antibodies, they form with protein in the food and form what is known as an antigenantibody complex. Although these are often eliminated by other cells in the immune system, occasionally they become anchored to tissues in the body, which leads to chronic inflammation and the on-set of symptoms. As one can imagine, Supply’s Life test is thus extremely useful for a host of people around the world, particularly athletes, who rely on their bodies for the purposes of advancing their careers. To this end, Ricky and the team have this year worked with Team GB athletes in the fields of rowing, cycling, and taekwondo, as well Supply Life offers the UK’s best-rated food intolerance test, and is trusted by doctors, Premier League football clubs, and professional athletes alike.
