According to CEO Albert Palomer, the company has chosen this bacterium because of its high mortality rate: 50% of infected patients die.<\/p>\n<p>ABAC Therapeutics, spin off of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrer.com\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ferrer<\/a>was founded in 2014 as part of its new open innovation strategy.<\/p>\n<h2>ABAC Therapeutics closes \u20ac16M investment round<\/h2>\n<p>ABAC Therapeutics, dedicated to researching new pathogen-specific antibiotics, has closed a \u20ac16M funding round.<\/p>\n<p>This capital injection was led by Pontifax, an Israeli fund that invests in healthcare companies; Global Health Science Fund (the Global Health Science Fund, created jointly by Quark Venture Inc. and GF Securities); Caixa Capital Risc; Debiopharm Innovation Fund and the pharmaceutical company Ferrer, which have joined ABAC's board of directors.<\/p>\n<p>The funds raised will be used to successfully complete the phase I clinical trial of its drug Abac-39877, currently a pre-clinical candidate in the fight against Acinetobacter baumannii, and then seek a licensing agreement.<\/p>\n<p>When it was founded as a spin-off from Ferrer, ABAC's capital was divided into 80% for the pharmaceutical company and 20% for Palomares and Gargallo. With the new partners, the capital is divided almost equally into five parts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Latest Biotech investment rounds in 2018<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-64\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-64\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">PROGRAMME<\/th><th class=\"column-2\"><strong>GLOBAL LEHIAN 2018<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">PUBLIC BODY<\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><strong>BASQUE GOVERNMENT - Department of Economic Development and Infrastructures<\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">BENEFICIARIES<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), individually or in cooperation, located in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, and which have an internationalisation plan in force.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAMME<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Support for the internationalisation of individual and cooperative SMEs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">CHARACTERISTICS OF THE AID<\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><strong>ELIGIBLE EXPENDITURE:<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\nINITIATION STAGE - Drawing up of the Internationalisation Plan (external advice may be contracted to carry out a diagnosis and\/or to draw up an Internationalisation Plan), travel, visits to trade fairs and the preparation of agendas.
