And of course a huge shout out to the teams, past and present, at @uomif.bsky.social for all of their encouragment and support at the start of this. Without them - it doesn't get anywhere near this far.

Show that Universities have the power to change.

Well this is exciting. From a basic science collaboration with
@prof-clark.bsky.social and Paul Bishop, to a spin-out, and now into the clinic.

Been some journey. Congratulations to everyone at Complement Therapeutics. This is an outstanding achievement.
