Bio-Sourcing, a company based in Liège, has secured an innovation grant of €2.5 million from the European Union.
The European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Programme has also committed an additional €10-million investment, according to the company.
Bio-Sourcing aims to develop biological medicines using goat’s milk.
Through genetic engineering, the goat’s milk would contain a specific therapeutic protein.
The company plans to use the EIC funding to conduct clinical trials with a treatment targeting autoimmune diseases.
