Google's ($GOOG) venture arm is one of three firms contributing to an investment of more than $10 million in Rani Therapeutics, a drug-delivery company focusing on novel oral treatments.

The San Jose, CA-based company is working on a platform to convert injectable forms of insulin and TNF inhibitors into oral capsules, and the funding from Google Ventures, InCube Ventures and VentureHealth will support the further development of the platform to deliver peptides, proteins, antibodies, RNAi therapies and vaccines in oral forms, according to Rani.
