Gothenburg, Sweden (PRWEB) January 27, 2015 -- Persomics was founded mid 2014 with a firm ambition to change the way cures are discovered.

Persomics has now closed the first round of funding led by two Swedish business angels, Johan Lassing, CEO of Qamcom Technology AB and Marcus Gustavsson, chairman at AB Blåkläder and chairman of the Paradifference Foundation.
“The funds will accelerate the company’s growth and allow Persomics to commercialize its groundbreaking functional genomics screening technology,” says Martin Svensson, CEO of Persomics AB. “I am very pleased with the team we are building and with Johan Lassing and Marcus Gustavsson involved, we have a core team that will enable the business to make our products available to a large audience.”
