Episode Summary

Ananda Pharma Plc (AQSE:ANA) co-founder co-founder and CEO Melissa Sturgess talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s evolution and progress in drug development. Sturgess shared the significance of the recent name change from Ananda Developments to Ananda Pharma, reflecting the company's focus on developing pharmaceutical-grade medicines. She highlighted collaborations with key opinion leaders in areas like chemotherapy-induced pain, endometriosis, and refractory epilepsy.

Additionally, Sturgess discussed the company’s recent £150,000 investment from new investors and a successful £2 million fundraising in September, backed by its chairman and largest shareholder. This financial support positions Ananda Pharma to advance its clinical trials and regulatory preparations for global markets. Looking ahead to 2025, Sturgess described this as the most optimistic phase in Ananda Pharma’s journey. For more updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.
