A nasal spray technology which promises an alternative drug delivery method for biologic drugs has been given a funding boost.
Critical Pharmaceuticals, a spin-out company from The University of Nottingham, has secured a £1.5 million translation award from the Wellcome Trust to develop the nasal spray to deliver Human Growth Hormone (hGH).

The company is focusing on hGH as the first drug to be delivered using the system.
