Funding milestone

Why it matters: Very early-stage capitalization. Modest seed funding but sufficient for Israeli regulatory pathway and GMP facility setup. Eyal Gura (co-founder of Zebra Medical Vision) is connected as investor/advisor.

regulatory-designation

Completed

Actual: Jan 1, 2024

Israeli Ministry of Health approval for clinical trial testing MSX-06 for OCD and depression
