Unmet Need
Many cancers still
poorly treated
New approaches
involve engineering
patients’ immune
cells to recognise and
kill cancer cells
Many blood cancer
patients have shown
complete remission
with CAR-T
Innovation
Exciting science from
University College,
London
Extends potential of
Chimeric Antigen
Receptor CAR-T-cell
therapy
Potential for
improved targeting
and control of
patients’ killer cells
Impact
Potential for safer,

treatment, as well as
moving into solid

Unmet Need
Many cancers still
poorly treated
Tumour cells known
to be poor at
repairing DNA
damage and various
chemo and radio-
therapies exploit this
But efficacy is limited
by unwanted effects
on healthy cells
Innovation
Inhibiting “DNA
Damage Response”
(DDR) of cancer cells
proven
Artios founders
involved in successful
development of first
generation DDR
(PARP inhibitor)
New DDR pathways
discovered by
scientists at CRUK
Impact
Following success of
AstraZeneca's
Lynparza™ (olaparib),
now opportunities to
target new DDR
pathways
Artios aiming for a
pipeline of multiple
programmes and new
targets
A novel class of DNA damage response (DDR) inhibitors
Artios
15
Unmet Need
Human T-cells are
designed to kill
abnormal or
cancerous cells
But cancer cells can
evade detection by T-
cells, allowing
uncontrolled growth
of a tumour
Using antibodies to
“engage” T-cells with
tumours an approach
in its infancy
Innovation
Harpoon’s founders
were involved in the
development of
Blincyto® a “bispecific”
engager for leukaemia
Harpoon is now
developing a next
generation “trispecific”
engager, TriTAC™
This has the potential
for greater efficacy and
potency than earlier T-
Cell engagers
Impact
Arix co-led Series B
financing to advance
TriTAC™ to Phase 1
clinical trials
First clinical trial, in
metastatic prostate
cancer, expected in
2018
Further trials being
planned
Unleashing a patient’s immune system to kill cancers
Harpoon Therapeutics
16
Unmet Need
Drug-resistant,
potentially deadly
fungal infections, e.g.
Candida, Aspergillus
and rare molds
Over 600,000 cases
annually; patients
with compromised
immune systems
particularly
susceptible
Existing treatments
not effective, difficult
to use or poorly
tolerated
Innovation
Amplyx developing
novel, broad-spectrum
antifungal agents for
life-threatening
invasive fungal
infections
Potential to be first
novel antifungal drug
approved since 2001

Unmet Need
Drug resistant
bacteria on the rise
> 2m US citizens get
resistant infections,
leading to 23,000
deaths each year
The CDC & Infectious
Disease Society of
America call for an
urgent need for new
drugs
Innovation
Sulopenem, a novel

antibiotic for multi-
drug resistant
infections
Shown broad-
spectrum coverage
and potent in-vitro
activity against E. coli
& K. pneumonia
Proven leadership
(involved in
