Why AbbVie Invested

The support of AbbVie Ventures, the strategic venture capital arm of AbbVie Inc - world leaders in treatment of inflammatory diseases - has accelerated the development of our gut epithelial shield. The additional advisory support of the AbbVie Inc Immunology team enhances our scientific capabilities, bringing invaluable insight and direction to our innovative approach.

“Despite recent advances, patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) still need new treatment options. AbbVie Ventures invests in transformational science, technologies - and the people who help the science find its full potential - with the aspiration to break through the therapeutic ceiling in diseases like IBD. We are excited to invest in and provide our scientific expertise to ThirtyFiveBio as they explore the potential therapeutic benefit of targeting GPR35 for the treatment of IBD.”  Christian Schubert, Ph.D., Vice President and Global Head, AbbVie Ventures.

"Our discussions with the teams at AbbVie Ventures, as well as Canaan and Mayewell Capital, generated an appreciation for both our competitive differentiation and scientific thought leadership."

James Westcott, CEO, ThirtyFiveBio.

"Epithelial repair is neglected in the treatment of colitis, although our research has shown that it is essential (in addition to controlling inflammation) to achieve mucosal healing. ThirtyFiveBio have an exciting novel compound that aims to address this unmet need without increasing immunosuppression."
