MetalloBio’s CEO has been selected for the award due to her development of a novel antimicrobial platform technology. The technology has application potential as a systemic antimicrobial and as a coating/additive in medical and non-medical materials. This gives the platform technology the potential to save millions of lives.
Kirsty Smitten, CEO of MetalloBio, said: “It is excellent to have been shortlisted for the award and to be recognised for MetalloBio’s work in the antimicrobial space. I am looking forward to attending the final in-person and to be able to network with other entrepreneurs from different sectors.”
