SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recursion (Nasdaq: RXRX), a leading clinical stage TechBio company decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery, today reported business updates and financial results for its third quarter ending September 30, 2024.
“We are excited to continue to drive rapidly towards the closure of our proposed business combination with Exscientia in a matter of weeks, ahead of the original guidance,” said Chris Gibson, Ph.D., Co-founder and CEO of Recursion. "We believe the combination with Exscientia will help to build a robust and diverse portfolio of tech-enabled clinical and near-clinical programs, significant value-creation opportunities through multiple transformational partnerships with both biopharma and technology companies, and the industry’s first full-stack technology-enabled small molecule discovery platform. Ultimately, we have never been more confident in our ability to translate our work into potential medicines for patients. These developments will drive additional value beyond the clinical trial catalysts we’ve seen in the last few months, including encouraging data from our Phase 2 trial in CCM, the first patient dosed in our Phase 2 trial in C. difficile infection, and our IND clearance for a Phase 1/2 trial in biomarker-enriched solid tumors and lymphoma (Target RBM39)."
