Because sheep-generated antivenom can cost $1000/shot, a cloned and recombinant universal pit viper antivenom ("Lethal Toxin Neutralizing Factor") that costs <$1 a shot could be transformative in low-resource settings outside the US.
Thank you, possum!

Around 100,000 people die from venomous snakebites each year, and we are lacking effective, affordable antivenoms.
R&D for new antivenoms is underfunded, typical of many diseases that simply aren't profitable enough to attract investment.
