Investment thesis

Abingworth invests in biopharma companies developing important new treatments across diverse disease areas and modalities. The firm pursues a multi-stage approach, backing seed and early-stage companies exploring novel mechanisms of disease, development-stage firms advancing programs through clinical trials, and later-stage companies seeking creative financing for expensive clinical trials. By maintaining a broad portfolio across biotherapeutics, small molecules, nucleic acid therapeutics, vaccines, gene therapies, and cell therapies, Abingworth gains unique insight into success factors across biotechnology and positions itself to support companies through their entire development trajectory to market.
