Fra­zier and Ala­mar Bio­sciences cre­ate im­mune and can­cer biotech At­tovia with $60M in fund­ing

Fra­zier Life Sci­ences is team­ing up with ven­Bio and Il­lu­mi­na Ven­tures to cre­ate a new im­mune-me­di­at­ed and can­cer-fo­cused biotech spun out of the pre­ci­sion pro­teomics com­pa­ny Ala­mar Bio­sciences.

The new com­pa­ny, At­tovia Ther­a­peu­tics, will launch with $60 mil­lion and an ex­clu­sive world­wide li­cense to Ala­mar’s plat­form. The plat­form, called At­to­body, cre­ates small for­mat binders that could be a key piece to an­ti­body-drug con­ju­gates, ra­di­oli­gands and oth­er bio­ther­a­peu­tics. CEO Tao Fu told End­points News that the lead pro­gram, in an undis­closed im­mune-me­di­at­ed dis­ease, will en­ter the clin­ic by 2025.
