DUBLIN – Versant Ventures notched up another result with its build-to-buy model of backing cutting-edge translational science, as Roche Holding AG triggered an option to acquire Inception 5, an early stage venture focused on the discovery of small molecules that promote remyelination of damaged neurons in multiple sclerosis. Financial terms were not disclosed, but Versant is backing the same leadership in a new start-up, Pipeline Therapeutics Inc., to continue drug discovery work on the broader theme of identifying small molecule therapeutics for a range of neuroregenerative applications, such as hearing loss, neuropathic pain and Alzheimer's disease.
