Multiple growth triggers including the commercialisation of Midkine

SmallCapInsider
Written by SmallCapInsider
Published Aug 16, 2019

We believe that Cellmid’s FGF5 inhibition assets give them a compelling USP in the global competitive landscape for the US$7bn hair loss and US$24bn anti-aging haircare markets. Hair loss and poor hair quality are increasingly becoming problems caused by poor lifestyle choices and environmental factors (such as stress and nutritional deficiencies), rather than being driven purely by genetics and the aging process. Of great significance is the fact that 40% of women have visible hair loss by the time they are aged 40, which has serious negative consequences to an individual’s psychological and emotional wellbeing. Also, Cellmid’s products, based on 100% natural actives, should benefit from the shift of consumers towards products which have natural ingredients.

In addition, On the 28th May 2019, Cellmid announced the appointment of Bart Wuurman as CEO of the company’s Lyramid subsidiary. The primary purpose of the appointment is to allow Mr. Wuurman to drive a licensing or partnership agreement for Cellmid’s extensive IP over Midkine antibodies. Notable achievements by Mr. Wuurman include his role as CEO at AM-Pharma where he achieved a €600m option deal with Pfizer.

Key risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that Cellmid are unable to continue growing sales and is unable to reach profitability for its Advangen subsidiary, and the possibility that its Mikdine assets are not able to be successfully commercialised.
