Two of the scientists behind Britain s AstraZeneca jab could both make £26million today as the tech firm that developed it hits the US stock market.
Oxford professors Sarah Gilbert and Adrian Hill both own 5.2 per cent of Vaccitech, which will later float on America s Nasdaq exchange.
The pair are alongside other scientists and investors who put money and expertise into the company after it was founded in 2016.
Companies House papers audited by MailOnline show Profs Gilbert and Hill each hold 2,500 ordinary shares in the firm, out of a total 47,827.
Experts have suggested it is targeting a value of some £509 million, meaning if this is realised, the two scientists stakes will be each worth £26.4million.
