The financing was provided by Netherton Investments to advance extracellular matrix-targeted treatments for solid tumours and fibrosis.
Engitix is a biotechnology company focused on extracellular matrix targets to develop therapies for cancer and fibrosis. It operates from London and maintains partnerships with major pharmaceutical firms.
Engitix has raised £18.6m in a Series A extension financing round led by Netherton Investments. The funding will support the continued preclinical development of the company pipeline targeting the extracellular matrix in solid tumours and fibrosis, alongside the expansion of its proprietary data platform.
The investment builds on existing backing from Mike Platt and follows earlier partnerships established with firms such as Takeda and Dompé farmaceutici. Engitix aims to use the capital to translate its high-resolution extracellular matrix datasets into precision therapeutics designed for diseased tissue microenvironments.
