Ossianix, Inc., a Philadelphia, PA-based biopharmaceutical company that develops novel biopharmaceuticals for a variety of therapeutic areas, has received a strategic investment of undisclosed amount from H. Lundbeck A/S.
The investment, which was made in the form of a Convertible Promissory Note, will enable the company to generate biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of nervous system disorders.
