By GlobalData“This agreement further strengthens our discovery pipeline and reinforces our strategy of addressing rare genetic conditions through small molecules.”
DBA is caused by genetic changes in ribosomal sub-units that stop the maturation of red blood cells and result in anaemia.
In June 2023, CAMP4 raised $100m in a Series B financing round to progress the development of regulatory ribonucleic acid-focused programmes.
