LDC will act as the drug discovery arm of Nodus and participate in the development of all assets in Nodus’ pipeline.

Founded  in  2017,  Cumulus  sources  novel  oncology  assets  from   academic institutes, commercial drug discovery groups and biopharmaceutical  companies. Burges Salmon has previously advised Cumulus on a £1.7 million investment round and on a significant investment fundraise of c. £4.1 million.

I tried all the obvious brands – Body Shop, Maybelline, Lancôme, Rimmel, Avon; nothing. Then I tried the more fashiony brands, such as MAC and Nars, also to no avail. The issue of using mascara colors other than brown or black is a controversial one among beauty experts. Some experts believe that blue mascara can counteract the appearance of dull or bloodshot eyes, while other shades, such as plum, can enhance the appearance of blue eyes. Other experts argue that these mascara colors fail to properly enhance the wearer’s eyelashes, defeating the purpose of wearing mascara in the first place. Colored mascara can also create interesting effects when making oneself up for a photography shoot or a costume party.
