£900K

The Belfast biotechnology company raised the capital from investors including Co-fund NI, QUBIS, and the Halo Business Angel Network.

"It is exciting to be able to advance the commercial development of AMPLY Discovery thanks to the tremendous support of our investors and Queen’s University Belfast. The development of initial research in this domain started out almost a decade ago when I considered adopting AI and machine learning techniques I had worked with in financial markets for the computational biology domain."
