This time, it’s EcoR1 Cap­i­tal re­turn­ing to the re­verse-merg­er mar­ket, with Oleg Nodel­man’s firm sub­mit­ting its SEC pa­per­work Tues­day to the tune of an es­ti­mat­ed $150 mil­lion raise. Called Panacea Ac­qui­si­tion II, the blank-check com­pa­ny will be EcoR1’s sec­ond SPAC to go pub­lic over the last nine months af­ter the first Panacea launched last June.
