Startup Lifemine Therapeutics Inc. followed up its $5 million seed round, quietly raised last year, with a $55 million series A led by Wuxi Healthcare Ventures, which was joined by Foresite Capital, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Arch Ventures, Boyu Capital, Blue Pool Capital, Merck Ventures and Alexandria Venture Investments. Co-founded by Harvard Medical School professor, serial entrepreneur and investor Gregory Verdine, who serves as president, CEO and chief scientific officer, Lifemine is seeking to scale the genomic discovery of drugs from eukaryotic microbes, or fungi, by combining genomics with artificial intelligence and synthetic biology.
