Interline Therapeutics Raises $92M in Funding
The round was led by Foresite Capital and ARCH Venture Partners.
The company intends to use the funds to expand the research platform and advance six preclinical therapeutic programs.
Co-founded by CEO Zachary Sweeney, Interline Therapeutics is a Foresite Labs incubated company that focuses on systematically elucidating protein communities to define molecular mechanisms of disease.
The company uses genomics, proteomics, structural biology and computational chemistry to systematically map and modulate protein communities. Interline Therapeutics is leveraging recent advancements in these technologies, as well as collaborations with academic groups, to develop a precision medicine platform focused on three essential areas:
New approach harnesses disease-causing proteins to combat cancer
Over many decades now, traditional drug discovery methods have steadily improved at keeping diseases at bay and cancer in remission. And for the most part, it s worked well.
But it hasn t worked perfectly.
A lab on UNLV s campus has been a hub of activity in recent years, playing a significant role in a new realm of drug discovery -; one that could potentially provide a solution for patients who have run out of options.
It s starting to get to the point where we ve kind of taken traditional drug discovery as far as we can, and we really need something new.
