Macomics secures £3.2m in seed financing from Epidarex Capital and the Scottish Investment Bank to develop cancer immunotherapies
Epidarex Capital led the seed round to help the Edinburgh spin-out advance its tumour-associated macrophage platform.
"Decades of research into macrophage biology, particularly that of tumour-associated macrophages, have made it very clear to me that this is an area of significant untapped potential for the development of novel cancer therapeutics. The creation of Macomics based on the research of my group at the University of Edinburgh provides the team with an exciting opportunity to develop new effective cancer drugs against macrophage targets, that will bring real clinical benefit to many more patients suffering from cancer."
