Head of Regulatory Affairs and Quality

**About Aegros**

Aegros is Latin for ‘Patient’. We chose this name because it speaks to our focus on the patient. Every day we strive to place the patient first by providing therapeutic plasma products they would not otherwise be able to access.

At Aegros we believe access to life saving therapeutic plasma drugs is a human right and not a privilege. In a nutshell our mission is to put the patients first through innovation.

Over 30 years we have developed our HaemaFrac process which enables countries to turn human plasma they collect into life saving hyperimmune products.
