Longbow leads £1.7m Ambicare funding

The Scottish Venture Fund also invested, alongside DC Thomson and private investors.

The new capital will be used to launch the company's lead product Ambulight PDT, a light-emitting sticking plaster for the treatment of cancer.

In early 2008 the company closed a £2.5m funding round with major contributions from Longbow Capital and the Scottish Venture Fund.

Based in St Andrews, Ambicare Health (previously known as Lumicure) is a spinout of Dundee's Ninewells Hospital and St Andrews Univeristy. The company has developed a portfolio of wearable light sources for medical and consumer healthcare applications.
