The Series C round was co-led by R42 Group and Atomico to support clinical trials for rare disease treatments.
"It is truly a pivotal time at Healx. By December 2024, we will advance HLX-1502 into a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with NF1 both for plexiform neurofibroma, a genetic condition with limited treatment options and for cutaneous neurofibroma, for which there are no FDA approved options. We are also generating important preclinical data for multiple additional compounds identified using our novel generative AI drug discovery engine. Those compounds target rare diseases with significant unmet needs, including additional nerve-related tumor disorders, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Angelman syndrome."
The London-based AAA games studio secured backing from HodlCo, FOV Ventures, and prominent tech executives to expand its team and technology.
"This funding will enable us to prove we can redefine game development, and challenge the misconception that AI is here to replace, rather than enhance, human creativity. Our goal is to push the boundaries of interaction and immersion for our players, while making work more interesting and secure for developers. We believe our approach will create more jobs while elevating each individual on a team to have more impact and influence on the game they are making. Our belief is that by harnessing AI, smaller teams can become as efficient as, if not more efficient than, the largest video game developers, allowing them to create dozens of games. We are excited to continue this journey with the support of our new partners."
