A fresh $439K pre-seed round has landed for Myomaker Bio, a contract research organisation specializing in pre-clinical muscle biology. SFC Capital led the investment into the company, which partners with biotech and pharmaceutical firms to assess how compounds affect muscle function.

Myomaker Bio leverages advanced human and animal muscle models, including 3D human skeletal muscle and iPSC-derived systems, to deliver high-quality data for drug development pipelines across disease, exercise, injury, and rehabilitation contexts.

Great to see Midlands spin-out initiative Forging Ahead highlighting the work of Myomaker Bio, a spin-out of Loughborough University developing human muscle models for use during drug discovery processes. The business aligns with the ongoing push to reduce the use of animals in testing.

The team secured £325,000 pre-seed funding from SFC Capital earlier this year - here's a news article with more info on that success https://lnkd.in/eGpNKTG5 It's a pleasure to work with co-founders Prof Mark Lewis and Dr. Andrew Capel to support them as they grow the business. #ukinnovation #innovation #smefinance
