    ▎WuXi AppTec Content Team Editor On January 25, 2022, Leyden Laboratories announced the completion of a $140 million Series B financing
    .

    Funds from this round will be used to support the growth of Leyden Labs’ platform, product portfolio and team
    .

    The company's platform is based on two innovative concepts: broad protection against known viruses, new variants, and emerging viruses; and protection at the "gateways" of virus invasion, such as the mucous membranes in the nose and throat
    .

    Founded in 2020, Leyden Labs' technology platform supports the development of broadly neutralizing antibodies delivered via an intranasal spray
    .

    Prevention of coronavirus family and other respiratory diseases
    .

    Specifically, millions of unknown viruses in nature can be divided into dozens of virus families
    .

    By targeting the commonalities of these virus families, researchers are able to develop protective therapies against the entire virus family, including unknown virus variants
    .

    Leyden Labs is currently focusing on respiratory viruses with the greatest potential to cause pandemics, such as influenza and coronaviruses
    .

    These viruses can be transmitted through the air, so the nasal cavity is the first line of virus invasion
    .

    Leyden Labs aims to develop an intranasal spray that provides immediate protection from infection and prevents spreading the virus to others
    .

    Because the product itself is a neutralizing antibody, they do not rely on the body's immune system to function, so it can effectively protect high-risk infection groups, such as the elderly and immunocompromised people
    .

    Mr.
    Koenraad Wiedhaup, Co-Founder and CEO of Leyden Labs, Mapping the Content Team at WuXi AppTec, said: "This round of financing is a testament to investors' trust in us that Leyden Labs' platform can generate cornerstone products for the fight against respiratory diseases.
