Island Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:ILA) CEO David Foster joins Proactive to introduce the company's drug research and repurposing mission. Island is primarily focused on developing preventative or therapeutic drugs for viral infections such as dengue fever and other mosquito-borne diseases. Foster says there is no specific pharmaceutical treatment for dengue fever and the one vaccine that exists is available to a highly restricted audience — opening the door for the company's clinical pipeline.
