RADNOR, Pa., Jan. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PolyMedix, Inc. (OTCBB:PYMX), a biotechnology company focused on developing innovative therapeutic drugs intended to treat patients with serious acute-care conditions, today announced that it has engaged Canaccord Genuity Inc. as its financial advisor to review and assist with the company’s strategic and financial alternatives, including a licensing transaction around its lead antibiotic compound, brilacidin, or a potential sale of the company or its assets. PolyMedix continues to work with its financing advisors on a financing transaction that could permit the company to remain independent and continue the clinical development of brilacidin.
