About ValiRx Plc 
ValiRx Plc is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel technologies and products in oncology therapeutics and diagnostics. The product focus is in the epigenomic analysis and treatment of cancer, but the technologies can be applied to other fields as well, such as neurology and inflammatory diseases.
The Company listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange in October 2006.
The Company has a pipeline of other therapeutic drugs, which are currently progressing towards clinical trials. The product focus is in the targeted analysis and treatment of cancer, but the technologies can be applied to other fields as well, such as neurology and inflammatory diseases. It actively manages projects within its portfolio as a trading company. The ValiRx business model spreads the risks of life science technology development by minimizing financial exposure and running a set of projects to defined commercial endpoints. This maximizes returns to shareholders by adding value at the earlier stages where value increases per investment unit are the greatest.
The Company operates through the following divisional companies:
1. ValiPharma is the therapeuticsdivision, with two embedded technologies primarily directed at the treatment of cancers.
2. ValiFinn is the biomarkers and diagnostic development division. ValiRx acquired through its ValiFinn subsidiary, the complimentary TRAC technology to strengthen the portfolio.
3. ValiSeek is a joint venture between ValiRx and Tangent Ltd to develop Val401 in lung cancer and potentially other indications.
