Canurta's November Milestones
Research & Development
New Formulation for Sublingual Strips: We have developed a promising formulation for sublingual strips to deliver our polyphenol extract. We are also performing preliminary toxicity assays for the ALS formulation (CNR 401) in our zebrafish model which will lead into efficacy trials in December.
Manufacturing
Recent Visit to InnoFibre: Production Lead, Cameron Parry, visited Canurta's manufacturing research partner, Innofibre, in Trois-Rivieres. Research continues to move extremely well, with optimization of our extraction technology on the forefront.
Bioinformatics
Computational Tools for ALS and ARDS Treatment Development: With the collaboration of our R&D experts, our team identified methods and initiated research on harnessing computational tools for meticulous data analysis of ALS and ARDS positive treatment results to optimize the application of our lead molecules across these different therapeutic areas and enhance the effectiveness of future clinical trials.
