Alector LLC, a San Francisco, CA-based biotech company advancing immuno-modulatory therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, raised $32m in Series C financing.
The round was led by MRL Ventures with participation from OrbiMed, Polaris Partners, Google Ventures, Topspin Partners, Mission Bay Capital and others.
The proceeds will enable Alector to broaden its drug pipeline and to advance its most promising drug candidates towards clinical trials.
