$1.9B in: Mod­er­na blue­prints $100M fa­cil­i­ty, plans to dou­ble the pipeline af­ter a $474M megaround

Mod­er­na has wrapped its lat­est megaround with $474 mil­lion to in­vest in a new man­u­fac­tur­ing fa­cil­i­ty and its fast-grow­ing staff as it looks to launch new stud­ies for im­muno-on­col­o­gy and dou­ble the num­ber of ther­a­pies in the pipeline as ear­ly as next sum­mer.

Mod­er­na tipped its hand on this fundrais­ing in a Form D a few days ago. But in an in­ter­view with End­points News, Mod­er­na CEO Stephane Ban­cel spelled out where the next big in­vest­ments will be made. At the top of that to-do list is build­ing a $100 mil­lion man­u­fac­tur­ing fa­cil­i­ty, which the Cam­bridge, MA-based biotech has been scout­ing a lo­ca­tion for.
