Deal News - GreenGate Partners advises Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund (BIVF) on EUR 9.1 Mio. seed-extension financing round of Refoxy Pharma GmbH

9. Dezember 2024 Marc René Spitz, LL.M.

The preclinical biotech company Refoxy Pharma, based in Berlin, is the first company to develop small molecule activators of the transcription factor FOXO3 for the promising treatment of age-related diseases.

FOXO3 is a gene that is strongly associated with a longer and healthier human lifespan. It helps organs to combat stress and is therefore a compelling target for pharmaceutical research.

The funding will enable the company to further develop novel therapeutic treatments for various indications, including the chronic, age-related and severe lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
