The founding team, Cecilie Knudsen, Jonas Arnold Jürgensen, and Andreas Hougaard Laustsen-Kiel met through the Tropical Pharmacology Lab at the Technical University of Denmark. Here, we had all been drawn to the Lab due to its overarching mission; to combat one of the world’s most neglected diseases - Snakebite - by introducing newer biotechnological methods into antivenom development, substituting a 125-year old method. Thus, we have all been engaged in developing next-generation antivenoms for treating snakebites during our studies in one way or the other, which also led to the origin of VenomAid - better treatment relies on better diagnosis.
