Helperby Therapeutics

Helperby Therapeutics is a spin-out drug discovery company from St George’s University of London and has been working for the last 12 years developing antibiotics that specifically target dormant bacteria, a technique that has never been done before. This pioneering discovery by Professor Anthony Coates and Dr Yanmin Hu is a unique, patented approach that has shown real promise in early studies in breaking resistance when Helperby’s compounds are combined with old.
