About PureTech Health
PureTech Health (PureTech Health plc, PRTC.L) is a
cross-disciplinary biotech company focused on areas of growing
scientific and technical insights that it believes are at an
important inflection point, including the central nervous,
gastro-intestinal and immune systems, and the interactions and
signalling between them. PureTech has approximately 20 clinical
studies across its pipeline targeting multi-billion dollar market
opportunities, including five human proof-of-concept studies and
multiple pivotal or registration study readouts expected in the
next two years. While inevitably some technologies will not advance
to commercialisation, PureTech's approach mitigates risk as most of
the cash resides on a PureTech parent company level, allowing
PureTech to build value and divert cash to its most successful
programmes as milestones are achieved. PureTech has over 220
patents and patent applications. PureTech's leading team and board,
along with an advisory network of more than 60 expert
founder-scientists and advisors across multiple disciplines, gives
PureTech access to potentially ground-breaking science and
technological innovation. With healthcare undergoing major
transformation, PureTech believes it is well positioned to develop
and launch medicines for the 21st century. For more information,
