Twin Path Ventures led the seed financing for the Belfast biotechnology firm to accelerate its preclinical discovery programmes.

"Ten years ago, I began combining financial modeling expertise with computational biology to create a drug discovery platform. Evolution has spent billions of years perfecting natural defense mechanisms, and now we’re using AI to unlock this wisdom. This isn’t just professional for me; my father died from a drug-resistant infection our healthcare system couldn’t treat. At Queen’s, I built AMPLY to tackle deadly diseases differently, creating technology that will save lives when current treatments fail."
