EIB funding for Minoryx' rare genetic diseases research

1 November 2020

The European Investment Bank (EIB), backed by the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), will provide 25 million euros ($29 million) of financing to Minoryx Therapeutics, a Spanish biotech company specializing in the advancement of treatments for rare central nervous system disorders.

The newly-available funding will thus benefit Minoryx' research and development activities in orphan genetic diseases for which there are currently no approved drugs available.

This deal is worth a potential $78 million.
