MBMV invests in international biotech startup Arcensus from Rostock

NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, February 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Based on whole genome sequencing (WGS) Arcensus GmbH, Rostock/Berlin/New Jersey makes it possible to detect both rare and common diseases such as cancer or heart disease at an early stage in order to initiate preventive and personalized treatment.

A year after Arcensus was founded, fresh capital is now being raised for further expansion. As part of the current investment series, the Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MBMV) is investing a single-digit million amount in further expansion in the USA and the GCC region.

It is a very special investment for MBMV, as managing director Dr. Thomas Drews reveals: “With Arcensus, we are investing in a very experienced and well-known team and in a technology that, precisely in this combination, has the potential to make a significant contribution to the prevention of diseases and the healing of rare diseases”. He continues: ” In addition, we are proud that a local company from Rostock can act as a figurehead at the forefront of the international biotech scene.”

In fact, the team around Prof. Dr. Arndt Rolfs is no stranger to the biotech scene. Prof. Dr. Arndt Rolfs, a neurologist, took his rare disease company CENTOGENE, founded in 2006, to the stock exchange in 2019, in which MBMV also had a stake.

At Arcensus, Prof. Rolfs and his international team intend to use the accumulated experience in the field of WGS technology combined with a clear focus on the groundbreaking, artificial intelligence (AI)-based deep interpretation of DNA information to enable clients to best Insight into preventable diseases.
