BIND Biosciences, a Cambridge biopharmaceutical company that looks to use a proprietary medicinal nanoengineering platform to develop new drugs, said it has secured a $12.4 million Series C-1 financing.

"This financing included all of BIND's current investors (including Polaris Venture Partners, Flagship Ventures, ARCH Venture Partners, NanoDimension, and DHK Investments) as well as a new venture investor, Endeavour Vision, and private investors," BIND said in a press release.

BIND's lead product candidate is BIND-014, a nanoparticle cancer therapeutic targeted to a clinically-validated solid tumor antigen.,

"The support from new and existing investors to take our lead product, BIND-014, into the clinic this year and move our second product towards the clinic next year is a significant step forward for BIND," BIND president and chief executive Scott Minick said in a statement.

In a separate press release, BIND announced today the appointment of Ed Schnipper, M.D., as the company's chief medical officer. Previously, Schnipper was vice president of clinical development at ALZA Corp.
