PolyProx Therapeutics is a spin out of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge, and is based on over a decade of research and intellectual property from Founder, Professor Laura Itzhaki’s laboratory. Professor Itzhaki is joined at PolyProx Therapeutics by serial Cambridge biotech entrepreneurs Kevin Moulder as Chief Operating Officer and Andrew Sandham as Executive Chairman. PolyProx Therapeutics will develop a new class of drugs, called Polyproxin™ molecules, that are able to selectively target tumour cells and trigger the natural degradation machinery contained within the cell to arrest tumour growth.
