Serina Therapeutics on Wednesday said it has sold its UniverXome subsidiary in a deal which was finalized on Dec. 23.
The biotechnology company said on Wednesday that the transaction eliminated $11.2 million in associated subsidiary-level debt, allowing the company to enter 2025 with a debt-free balance sheet.
Chief Executive Officer Steve Ledger said the deal allows Serina to continue its focus on advancing SER-252, its lead candidate for advanced Parkinson's disease, into clinical development. The deal also allows the company to further explore the potential of its POZ platform, a technology designed to provide greater control in drug loading and the rate of release of drugs delivered via subcutaneous injection, Ledger said.
