Captura BioPharma is a company known for its cutting-edge science, particularly in the realm of radiological defense. However, despite their advanced technology and strong partnership with industry leaders, the company faced significant obstacles.
The BARDA funding application process is notoriously complex, with stringent requirements and a highly competitive environment. To compound the challenge, Captura was under immense pressure to meet a tight six-week deadline, a timeline that demanded accuracy and swift execution.
