September 12, 2024, Manchester, UK: F2G Ltd, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel therapies to treat life-threatening rare fungal infections with a high unmet medical need, today announced a $100 million financing round. The financing is being led by new investor AMR Action Fund and co-led by ICG.
“Fungal infections are a growing threat to patients around the world and have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations, yet there has been a paucity of innovation in the field of antifungals," said AMR Action Fund CEO Henry Skinner, PhD. "For decades, clinicians have relied on a handful of antifungal classes, with few mechanisms of action and significant limitations due to spectrum of activity, drug toxicities, or drug-drug interactions. These therapies are increasingly failing in patients. We are thrilled to support F2G’s team as they develop this urgently needed therapy and seek regulatory approval.”
