Foley & Lardner LLP served as counsel to TCG Crossover in their significant Series B investment in Entrada Therapeutics. The Boston-based biotech company raised $116 million in Series B funding in support of their new focus on neuromuscular diseases and getting their first Duchenne muscular dystrophy program into the clinic.
The Company plans to use the investment proceeds to advance its diverse pipeline to the clinic. Included in this pipeline are several of Entrada’s oligonucleotide programs for the treatment of multiple neuromuscular diseases, led by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In addition, Entrada is applying its proprietary Endosomal Escape Vehicle (EEV)TM platform to expand beyond neuromuscular diseases into additional therapeutic areas.
The Foley team was led by partners Louis Lehot and Nicole Hatcher.
