MikroBiyosistemler A.Ş., a spin off of Turkey’s Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ) and nurtured in that country’s leading science & technology park ODTÜ TEKNOKENT, has secured investment from Diffusion Capital Partners (DCP), Turkey’s first technology transfer and venture capital fund manager.
DCP, established within the scope of EU Pre-Accession Funding Programme, invests in high technology business concepts beginning from the seed-stage. The investment in the new company, founded by Prof. Dr. Haluk Külah and Prof. Dr. Tayfun Akın, will help bring the technology to the marketplace, where its developers expect it not only to improve cancer care, but also to add economic value to the region.
