Tim Moran of Avertix, and Ross Haghighat of BioPlus Acquisition Corp.

Biotech firms tend to come on to SPACs’ radar when they still
have some clinical work to complete to get to an approved
medicine or device, but Avertix is ahead of that particular
curve.


This week, we speak with Tim Moran, President and CEO of Avertix,
and Ross Haghighat, CEO and CFO of BioPlus Acquisition Corp.
(Nasdaq: BIOS). The two announced a $195 million dollar
combination in May of this year.


Tim tells us how Avertix’s Guardian heart monitoring implant has
performed in its initial commercial rollout, having already been
approved by the FDA and for insurance reimbursements. 


Ross meanwhile explains why being at that stage of the process
was important for BioPlus’ criteria given the current market
conditions and what further value streams could be unlocked
by the Guardian device long term.
