About LifeArc

LifeArc is a medical research charity making life science life changing, transforming promising life science ideas into medical breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. We are self-funding and specialise in early-stage translation – advancing lab-based scientific discoveries to a point at which they can be developed into the next generation of diagnostics, treatments and cures. We have been doing this for more than 25 years and our work has resulted in a diagnostic for antibiotic resistance and four licensed medicines. This includes Keytruda (cancer), Actemra (rheumatoid arthritis), Tysabri (multiple sclerosis) and Entyvio (Crohn’s disease) and a test for antimicrobial resistance.
