Babies born to mothers with the condition can develop brain bleeds in the womb or shortly aer birth, causing many to die or suffer severe disabilities. e current medical treatment is to resuscitate the babies and manage future pregnancies, Uden explained. But Rallybio hopes to prevent the condition by injecting at-risk mothers with a low dose of the problematic antibodies during pregnancy. e startup is now working with the German Red Cross and the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany to test the drug in healthy male volunteers (women volunteers are not being used to avoid potential risks to future pregnancies). Rallybio expects data on the first group of volunteers later this year. "If this works the disease will go away. It prevents it from ever happening," said Uden. "It doesn't get better than that in drug development." Expansion mode Meanwhile, the company plans to use its recent cash infusion to continue growing in 2021, with plans to advance two more drugs into clinical trials. One is a hematology drug; the other targets immune-inflammatory diseases. But Rallybio is waiting to complete preclinical testing before discussing them publicly. It also continues to build out its team. In January, the company brought on Steven Tuch, a former executive for investment banking company BMO Capital Markets, to head up corporate development. And it has again expanded its footprint in the Elm City, acquiring the remaining 1,300 square feet on its floor at 234 Church St., bringing its total square footage to 4,500. Fryer, Alexion's former chief tax Meet the Founders Rallybio was founded by three former executives at Alexion Pharmaceuticals, one of New Haven's most successful homegrown bioscience companies that moved its headquarters to Boston a few years ago and is in the process of being acquired by pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca for $39 billion. officer who now runs the financial end of Rallybio, said the space is large enough to accommodate a 30-member team. e company continues to have an office at the UConn TIP, which the founders praised as playing a crucial role in germinating the startup. But they said they are also excited about being closer to the biotech ecosystem that is blossoming in the New Haven region. Not only is their new lab close to other prominent city biotechs, but it's also accessible to investors and collaborators in New York and Boston, they said. "e New Haven biotech culture is strong," added Fryer. "It's a great place to be and we felt as though we wanted to be a part of that." n Rallybio founders and employees working out of the company's original office space in Farmington, located inside the UConn Technology Incubation Program.
