“Start‐up companies in the bioscience industry face a constant struggle for funding due in part to the high cost
of research and development, and the challenging fundraising environment, with the majority of companies
working on less than six months of cash on hand,” Baumunk said. “It’s a difficult industry to survive in, and
given the economic struggles over the last two years, funding bioscience research has become even more
difficult. The QTDP program offered these companies a way to continue to develop products and work on life
saving therapies that will undoubtedly impact the health and quality of life of patients worldwide. We expect
that these awards will lead to the production new life saving therapies and medical technologies, which will
impact patients and companies for years to come.”
