Vida Ventures, the venture capital firm co-founded by CAR T pioneer Arie Belldegrun, has closed an oversubscribed $825 million fund, bringing the total amount of assets under management to more than $1.7 billion.
Francesco de Rubertis, a co-founder of Medicixi Ventures, has unveiled the next generation of the venture-backed asset-centric biopharma model with the creation of Centessa Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The new company was created by acquiring, in all-share transactions, total control of 10 companies from the Medicxi portfolio.
