Notes for Editors
Synairgen is a UK-based respiratory company focused on drug
discovery and the development of SNG001 (inhaled interferon beta)
as potentially the first host-targeted, broad-spectrum antiviral
treatment delivered directly into the lungs for severe viral lung
infections.
Millions of people globally are hospitalised every year due to
viral lung infections and there are currently no approved antiviral
therapies for the majority of these patients. Synairgen is
developing SNG001 to address this need.
