Jeremy Skillington, PhD, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma, said:

"Following continuing demand after an oversubscribed AIM listing in July and a share price above the IPO price, I am looking forward to sharing how our capital light model and a scalable platform for growth will deliver value creation for our shareholders. Poolbeg Pharma is targeting a rapidly expanding market of infectious diseases, which is expected to exceed $250B by 2025. These events will be an opportunity to discuss our attractive, Phase II ready lead asset (POLB 001) tackling the inflammatory response to severe influenza, and our special access to a unique data bank of 20 years of infectious disease data in humans which we will mine to identify new, compelling therapeutics."

About Poolbeg Pharma

Poolbeg Pharma is a clinical stage infectious disease pharmaceutical company, with a capital light clinical model which aims to develop multiple products faster and more cost effectively than the conventional biotech model. The Company, headquartered in London, is led by a team with a track record of creation and delivery of shareholder value and aspires to become a "one-stop shop" for Big Pharma seeking mid-stage products to licence or acquire.

The Company is targeting the growing infectious disease market. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, infectious disease has become one of the fastest growing pharma markets and is expected to exceed $250bn by 2025.

With its initial assets from Open Orphan plc, an industry leading infectious disease and human challenge trials business, Poolbeg has access to knowledge, experience, and clinical data from over 20 years of human challenge trials. The Company is using these insights to acquire new assets as well as reposition clinical stage products, reducing spend and risk. It already has a Phase II ready repositioned small molecule immunomodulator for severe influenza and a portfolio of other exciting assets. The Company plans to broaden this portfolio further going forward and is in active discussions with AI data analysis platforms to help accelerate the power of its human challenge model data and biobank.
