High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) has joined a €1.45m round for regenerative therapies developer t-cell Europe GmbH.
HTGF joins Constantin Bastian Leander Venture Capital and the Brandberg state development bank as backers of the company.
The investor says the firm's patented technology, which has broad applications and addresses a multi-billion euro market, was key to its decision to invest. Financing will be used to continue development of t-cell's product and validate its platform technology, enabling the firm to proceed to clinical studies.
