Leyden Labs is a Dutch biotechnology company employing a novel, non-vaccine approach to fight back against the threat of respiratory viruses. The goal is to provide unprecedented breadth of protection against respiratory viruses right in the palm of the hand of those who need protection the most. The company's product candidates are nasal sprays that are developed following the principles that they must provide protection right at the gate of viral entry (in the airway) and deliver superior breadth of protection. These product candidates offer an opportunity to overcome major limitations of existing vaccine-based protection.
