Wellcome-backed Kymab snapped up by French biotech company
Biotech giant Sanofi is to buy Cambridge-based company Kymab in a deal potentially worth over £1 billion.
In 2010, Kymab became the first spin-out company to emerge from the UK’s lauded Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, based on work by Sanger researcher Allan Bradley and funded initially by $30 million (£22m) from the Wellcome Trust Investment Division.
