Close PEPTOMYC, the spin off led by Laura Soucek (ICREA at VHIO) has just raised 1 million to complete preclinical developent of a novel tumor inhibitor, a peptyde that blocks the MYC gene, which sits in the centrer of all the signalling cascade that leads to tumor groth and proliferation. Blocking MYC has proved very successful in preclical trials: tumors seem unable to find a way around MYC, and recede very dramatically.
We wish them best of luck and we hope to see the therapy in use some time, sooner rather than later!

Start up power at ICREA!
Two ICREA spin offs obtain funding from H2020 SME support instrument.
Close Two ICREA spin offs obtain funding from H2020 SME support instrument. The entrepreneurs Laura Soucek (ICREA at VHIO) and Roger Gomis (ICREA at IRB) have both secured a bunch of money from H2020 SME instrument this week. Their two companies are attacking different aspects of cancer tumors. Inbiomotion, Roger's company is testing a platform to prevent breast cancer from invading bone marrow. Peptomyc, Laura's company, has invented an innovative mollecule that blocks one of the most critical oncogenes, applicable to a wide array of different tumors.
Congratulations Laura and Roger, and keep up the good work!
