— Adaptive Biotechnologies co-founders and brothers Chad and Harlan Robins are among the directors of a new life sciences SPAC.
The blank check company is called CM Life Sciences III Inc. and listed on the NASDAQ starting April 7. The SPAC is targeting companies in “three separate areas of the life sciences industry that are often fragmented — life sciences tools, synthetic biology and diagnostics.”
