Dr Scott at Fox Chase did much of the work on polymerization of Brilacidin. At that time most of the applications were for coating medical devices,sutures catheters and the like.
It was reported Johnson and Johnson was very interested in the technology, but they could not move forward because Brilacidin was never approved as an antibiotic.
Of course if it was approved as an antiviral then it could be utilized.
Who was your source for the rumor?
Not to be nosy, but I heard a very faint tangential rumor Dr DeGrado was "working on his own Brilacidin project"
Any way I hope there is some truth to your rumor. Otherwise you are one sick dude.
