Furthermore, the firm is willing to partner with companies across the globe.

The firm’s areas of interest are in inflammation and auto-immune conditions, with a focus on GI and dermatologic disease. Also of interest are any technologies relating to the microbiome. As a secondary interest, the firm will also consider therapeutics in the cardiovascular space.

Due to their flexibility as investors, the firm can assume varying roles in a partnership depending on the level of investment.
