Elevate Bio, a well-funded biotech startup led by former Alexion Pharmaceuticals executives, has raised another $525 million in venture funding to fuel expansion of an unusual business model that blends in-house research with a technology platform meant to advance the work of Elevate s partners.
Elevate s focus is cell and gene therapy, a fast-growing field that it aims to accelerate by offering companies access to centralized research and manufacturing resources.
