In June 2023, Gedea secured €1.3 million (14 MSEK) in funding from existing and new investors, including family offices and business angels experienced in life science investments. This funding supports ongoing proof-of-concept studies, clinical trials, and research on pHyph's impact on the vaginal microbiome.
