Enhanc3D Genomics Secures £10M Series A Funding to Advance 3D Genomics Platform
Enhanc3D Genomics, a functional genomics company based in Cambridge, UK, has raised £10 million in Series A funding led by BGF, with participation from Parkwalk Advisors and Bioqube Ventures
The company plans to use the funds to accelerate the development of its proprietary technology platform, GenLink3D, which aims to unlock the potential of the three-dimensional organization of DNA
Enhanc3D's technology directly measures DNA interactions controlling gene regulation, allowing the exploration of the uncharted non-coding regions of the DNA
The platform will initially generate large datasets across multiple immune-cell types that have broad relevance to auto-immune diseases, cancer and ageing.
