CAMBRIDGE, England, March 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Crescendo Biologics Limited (Crescendo) today announces it has been awarded the prize for Business Innovation at the Cambridge News Business Excellence Awards 2014.

During 2013, Crescendo announced the Crescendo Mouse, a breakthrough in antibody fragment technology which allows the efficient generation of high-quality fully human single domain antibody VH fragments from a transgenic mouse.

The Company also raised £17.5m ($28m) in a Series A financing led by Imperial Innovations and including new investor Astellas Venture Management (AVM). Founding seed investor Sofinnova Partners also contributed significantly to the round.
