  • We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of our friends and founders, David Bonderman. While he was an industry icon, to us, he was simply “Bondo.” His early belief in Vida Ventures and our mission was instrumental in our launch and provided a strong foundation for our success. David’s unparalleled wisdom and insight, honed over a long and distinguished career, offered invaluable guidance during our formative stages and championed Vida’s success. Through his relationship with Arie Belldegrun, David recognized the potential to transform human health with innovative science and provided crucial support for our efforts. Their business partnership spanned decades and resulted in significant accomplishments, starting in 1996 with Agensys, Inc., followed by Kite Pharma, before forming Vida.    We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and honor his contributions to Vida and the broader life sciences and investment communities. David’s legacy extends far beyond his financial success; he was a respected leader and generous philanthropist with a deep commitment to making a difference in the world. We are grateful for the trust he placed in us and for his role in helping to build Vida Ventures. We plan to honor him on our continued journey of making today’s scientific innovations tomorrow’s therapies. Bondo - you will be dearly missed.

    Today, we are excited to welcome Margaret Keegan (Margaret K.) as our Chief Executive Officer! Margaret is a passionate leader, with over thirty years of relevant, life sciences experience and a deep commitment to our foundational principles, as well as our patient-centric and client-first approach.

Welcome to the team, Margaret! Read more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/e6XSNSPD “PMG was among the first to recognize the power of more personalized, targeted therapies to deliver better outcomes, and early to identify the possibilities and challenges that precision medicine-based approaches would introduce from clinical development through commercialization," says Margaret. "In many ways, our industry is at a similar inflection point now, as we assimilate innovations in technology and artificial intelligence and respond to new regulations and shifting macroeconomic conditions. This introduces a tremendous opportunity for PMG to advance from being the first mover in precision medicine to being the global expert in drug development and commercialization. I am thrilled to be joining Precision at this exciting point in the company’s rapid development and look forward to leading this outstanding team of professionals.”

    Exciting news! We have officially dosed the first patient in our Phase 1b clinical study of RCT2100, an investigational inhaled mRNA therapy for people with cystic fibrosis (CF). This marks an important step toward offering a potential new treatment to those in the CF who are still in need of options. Formulated using our Selective Organ Targeting (SORT) lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform, RCT2100 is designed to target the root cause of CF by delivering CFTR mRNA directly to the lungs, aiming to restore CFTR protein function, potentially benefiting more people living with CF. At ReCode, we’re harnessing precision delivery to power the next wave of mRNA and gene correction therapeutics. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gw-T-kh7

    Shortly after leading radiopharma startup RayzeBio to a $4B+ exit to Bristol Myers Squibb earlier this year, Ken Song hit the ground running for his next bet. He set up a shell company in the spring and went on a hunt for clinical-stage drugs. He looked at nearly 50 opportunities across pain, oncology and other disease areas before quickly settling on the potential of T cell engagers for autoimmune diseases. He assembled more than $370 million in funds for his new company, Candid Therapeutics, and acquired two biotech startups: Vignette Bio and TRC 2004. Both had inked licensing deals in recent months for clinical-stage medicines out of China-based drug developers. I spoke with Song about Candid, raising one of the year's largest private biotech financing rounds, the potential of T cell engagers in autoimmune and more for Endpoints News: #autoimmunediseases #autoimmunedrugs #tcellengagers #celltherapy #biotech #candidtherapeutics #venturecapital

  • Endpoints News met with Vida’s Co-founder and Managing Director, Arjun Goyal, M.D., to discuss #ThirdArcBio’s oversubscribed Series A launch and what’s to come for this accomplished team and their potential best-in-class therapies. Link to article: https://bit.ly/3SlcIdJ

    Third Arc Bio originally sought $100 million for its Series A, but with a star-studded executive team that has brought more than 15 new medicines to market, the biotech ended up reeling in $165 million. Founded by Johnson & Johnson veteran Sanjaya Singh and led by former J&J global oncology leader Peter Lebowitz, the Philadelphia-area startup will test its multispecific antibodies in solid tumors and I&I conditions starting next year. Its Series A includes many crossover and public investors, giving the nascent company multiple options before its capital runs dry in roughly three years. “At J&J, I saw all the platforms. We had them all. I specifically wanted to work on [multispecific antibodies] because this is the area where there is the largest opportunity to meet unmet need,” Lebowitz said in an interview with Endpoints News. “There’s a lot of interest in ADCs now, and ADCs are very important. But this is the area that is right in the right spot of the breaking point where it goes over the edge and actually is transformational for solid tumors.” #biotech #venturecapital #biotechvc #thirdarc #biologics #multispecificantibodies #solidtumors #autoimmune #immunology #drugdevelopment
