About Apogenix
The biopharmaceutical company Apogenix GmbH develops novel protein therapeutics for the targeted manipulation of apoptosis (programmed cell death). Apoptosis is a natural, tightly controlled process that rids the body of old, damaged or degenerate cells. In many disease conditions, this process is out of balance. This has resulted in either excessive death of healthy cells and healthy tissue (e.g., in acute "Graft-versus-Host Disease", stroke and spinal cord injuries) or an insufficient degradation of damaged and degenerated cells (e.g. in tumors). Apogenix is a spin-off of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) based in Heidelberg. In 2005, the company received €15 million in a first round of financing from the investment companies of the family of SAP co-founder Dietmar Hopp.
