Abdera skyrockets out of stealth with $142M as radiopharmaceutical ambitions take flight

So when given the chance to lead a startup with that very focus, she jumped aboard. Abdera Therapeutics launched Thursday with $142 million in combined series A and B funding to advance a fleet of radiopharmaceuticals, with an application to begin human trials slated to go before regulators sometime next year. The series A round was led by Versant Ventures and Amplitude Ventures, with the series B overseen by venBio Partners.
