The Xunta de Galicia's venture capital company, Xesgalicia, has supported, through its I2C Fund, the biotech company Centauri Biotech,<\/a> which develops veterinary pharmaceuticals.<\/span><\/p>\n

I2C has taken a 15% stake in the biotech company after subscribing for 50% of a capital increase of 350,000 euros.<\/span><\/p>\n

Centauri Biotech, which they see as having great growth potential, is working on the development of drugs and treatments based on cell therapy and genetic diagnostics for inflammatory or degenerative joint-related lesions in animals. The company was founded in 2012 by four researchers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Xesgalicia <\/span><\/span>I was already involved in another biotech company, Health in Code , a technology-based company that aims to identify health problems through the use of genetic diagnostics\" says Diego Gutierrez of Abra-Invest.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Sanifit closes a \u20ac36M round<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"This transaction is the largest round of financing for a Spanish company in the history of the biotech sector in Spain and one of the 10 largest in Europe so far this year,\" says Diego Gutierrez.<\/span><\/p>\n

The capital increase will allow Sanifit to advance the clinical development of SNF472 to the end of phase IIb for the treatment of calcification-related cardiovascular diseases in patients with TRED and to phase II\/III for the treatment of calciphylaxis.<\/span><\/p>\n
