Bengaluru, Karnataka May 27, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Jubilant Life Sciences Ltd (“Jubilant”) has granted an exclusive license to Lengo Therapeutics for the worldwide development and commercialization of a portfolio of novel chemistry against undisclosed oncology targets. In connection with the license, Lengo has completed a $15 million Series A financing round from Frazier.
Frazier Healthcare Partners recently launched a new biopharmaceutical company Lengo Therapeutics (“Lengo”) to discover and develop precision oncology medicines.
