Capital for Reprogen
- Share via
Outside investors continue to scout around Orange County’s biotech industry, looking for pay dirt.
Consider Reprogen Inc., an Irvine developer of gene-based therapies for treating reproductive diseases. The company, which employees 15 people, recently raised $6.5 million from venture capitalists from places as far away as Canada, Germany and Belgium.
Funds will support the company’s attempt to define gene targets for new drugs to combat diseases of the breast, uterus, ovaries and prostate.
