MRL Ventures Fund, Dementia Discovery Fund, Sanofi Ventures and SV Health Investors’ Impact Medicine Fund have co-led the financing round, which has also seen participation from existing investors including Dolby Family Ventures, the Foundation for a Better World and the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, along with new investor Eli Lilly and Company.

Therini Bio will use part of the funds to advance its potential first-in-class investigational antibody, THN391, into clinical trials.

THN391 binds the inflammation-driving component of fibrin, known for activating the immune responses in neurodegenerative and ophthalmologic diseases.

The company also plans to use the proceeds from the financing round to advance its fibrin-targeting therapies pipeline.
