Lonnie Moulder, Zenas BioPharma founder and executive chair

Lon­nie Moul­der’s new biotech play grabs $118M, steer­ing in­to PhI­II and more deals

Se­r­i­al biotech en­tre­pre­neur Lon­nie Moul­der has scored some big wins along the way, most no­tably the $9 bil­lion he racked up sell­ing MGI and Tesaro. And now the lead project he’s help­ing man­age as ex­ec­u­tive chair is mak­ing a bold move in­to Phase III — damn the mar­ket tur­moil that has large­ly iced IPOs.

The biotech, based in Waltham, MA with staffers pri­mar­i­ly in the US with some clin­i­cal ops in Chi­na, is called Zenas Bio­Phar­ma, and the Phase III tri­al they’ve set up is for obex­e­limab, a drug they got from Xen­cor last fall with a mix of eq­ui­ty and mile­stones.
