Yesterday, the EIC announced that Gedea Biotech has been selected for the €2.5M EIC Accelerator grant for the continued development and commercialization of pHyph, an antibiotic free treatment for vaginal infections. The funding will accelerate the development of pHyph, bringing this treatment earlier to patients in need.
