TRN also collaborate with Universities and research organisations to progress promising drug discovery projects from lead identification through early clinical development. We partner with Principal Investigators and Technology Transfer groups to secure funding, provide strategic guidance and practical support to access and manage available technologies and resources worldwide. Much of this work is conducted at risk. Areas of focus are acute care, antibiotics, antivirals, neurodegeneration and CVMD.

TRN are currently working in collaboration with the University of Tennessee and the MRCT to enable the development of EmstoPA, a humanised antibody fragment for the treatment of bleeding complications in patients who have received the clot buster tPA, for the treatment of stroke or pulmonary embolism. Currently no specific tPA reversal agents are in development. The team are seeking investors to help fund the development of this exciting and innovative product. Two additional drug repurposing collaborations are in early development in the acute care arena.
