Inficure Bio has developed a new mouse model, the N-IF model. Mice are used as model organisms for studying human biology due to the genetic and physiological conformity between mice and humans. N-IF mice are unique as they spontaneously develop pathological fibrosis, rather than it being induced. This pathological progress is therefore more natural and provides better and faster results.
Inficure Bio has signed an investment deal acquiring external venture capital for the first time. The new partners contribute with broad competence and funding – and within one year the goal is to become an established player on the international market for development of anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic drugs.
A few weeks ago, Sofia Mayans, CEO of the startup InfiCure Bio, got an offer she could not turn down.

Quretech, Hiloprobe and Inficure made the 30th of March a day to remember for Umeå Biotech Incubator.
