The funds were raised through a rights issue of 7.5 million euros from private capital and through loans of 3.5 million euros provided by public and semi-public institutions, including the Centre for Technological and Industrial Development (CDTI) and the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science.  The 7.5 million euros from the rights issue has largely come from Advancell shareholders. <\/p>\n<p> Advancell has two divisions:  the Pharma division, focused on developing innovative drugs through research into new applications of already-known molecules; and the Services and Reactions division, using cell-based, in vitro techniques to assay molecules under development for their efficacy, safety and mechanism of action.  The company&#8217;s business model is based on on a methodology that leads to a considerable reduction in the costs, risks and development timescales of a new drug. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biotech company Advancell, housed at the Barcelona Science Park (PCB), has named Davide Sirtoli as its new chairman.
