Bioxis Pharmaceuticals (formerly Cytosial Biomedic), a Lyon, France-based developer of Monophasic Tissular inductor MTI12, raised €2.5m in funding.
Backers included medical aesthetic technology company Juvamed (for the development ot Bioxis’ technologies in China) and two European family offices. Under the agreement, Bioxis and Juvamed will cooperate to obtain Chinese Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) approval for the two dermal filler technologies developed by Bioxis; MTI12, based on pharmaceutical grade chitosan and CYTOSIAL, based on crosslinked hyaluronic acid.
The company intends to use the funds to continue to develop its technologies and to hire new talent.
