The licence for SRA737 became available following the programme's return from a US-based biopharma company. As from December 2024, the licence reverted to the CRT Pioneer Fund (CPF).

Feature article: Hardman & Co Healthcare Index, 2024 – Tough year for Life Sciences By Dr Martin Hall The main function of the HHI is to monitor the performance, and to highlight the attractiveness, of life sciences investments over the long term, and to try to identify those stocks that have disruptive technologies that consistently allow them to outperform both the index and the markets. Many of the 53 constituents of the index are high-risk, with micro-capitalisations and a long way from pro...
The Hardman & Co Healthcare Index (HHI) has been running since 2009. Its main function is to highlight the attractions of life sciences investments over the long term. For the third year running, despite generally good returns in global markets, particularly in the US, performance in 2024 was poor, not helped by the capital-intensive nature of the sector. The HHI fell 17.7% to 398.9, underperforming all its benchmarks – FTSE 100 (+5.7%), FTSE All-Share (5.6%) and the FTSE AIM All-Share Index (-5...
Sareum completed a fundraise of c.£2.4m at 20p, with a 1 for 1, five-year warrant at 20p. The placing was with high-net-worth individuals and an institution. In addition, a tax credit from Australia for c. £1m (A$1.9m) has been received for running the Phase 1 clinical trial. This funding enables the accelerated development of its lead drug candidate SDC-1801, including longer-term toxicology studies, preparing it for the value enhancing Phase 2 clinical trials. SDC-1801 is progressing its longe...

The Hardman & Co Healthcare Index (HHI) has been running since 2009. Its main function is to highlight the attractions of life sciences investments over the long term. For the second year running, apart from global economic influences affecting world markets, performance in 2023 was dented by the capital-intensive nature of the sector. The HHI fell 3.7%, to 483.8, underperforming the main London markets – FTSE 100 (+3.8%) and FTSE All-Share (3.8%) but outperforming the FTSE AIM All-Share Index (...
