Italy’s Angelini Pharma has signed a multi-year research collaboration and licensing agreement with Massachusetts-based Quiver Bioscience to discover new treatments for genetic epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs). Under the agreement, Quiver could receive up to $120 million in milestone payments plus royalties if Angelini advances drug targets emerging from the collaboration. Financial terms for the upfront payment were not disclosed. Angelini will also receive exclusive access to data generated during the research term.

Angelini Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Angelini Industries, focused on investing in early-stage companies in BioTech and Digital Health, co-leads €20m Series A funding round in Neumirna Therapeutics, accelerating next-generation RNA therapeutics for epilepsy and neurological diseases.
