Summary: Imophoron stated on its website that preclinical trials of its vaccine candidates will begin “within weeks.” The U.K. startup, based at the Unit DX Incubator in Bristol, said it is looking for partners to further the development of the COVID-19 candidates and the ADDomer rapid-response platform for vaccines to combat present and future infectious diseases.
