Mercury Bio Chief Executive Officer Bruce McCormick meets with Chief Science Officer Richard Sayre, Ph.D., and Chairman of the Board Dana Barnard.

Bruce McCormick says, "Mercury Bio has created a drug delivery platform that's demonstrated successful oral and IV delivery of nucleic acids, which can reach all organs of the body, including the brain. We are entering joint development agreements with biotech companies to speed up the evaluation and development of new drug candidates.

"Our proprietary, non-animal, non-human drug delivery platform—an alternative to lipid nanoparticles (LNP)—is based on the bioengineering and production of yeast-derived extracellular vesicles (yEVs). We created an extensive IP portfolio before coming out of stealth mode and continue to file additional patent applications. As we enter the commercial growth phase, we're seeking investments from aligned investment firms focused on disruptive early-stage, high-growth biotech opportunities."
