Combined with additional available capital and non-dilutive funding, including multiple project agreements with the U.S. government, the company has secured more than $175 million over the past year.</p>
<p>Proceeds from the financing will be used to expand Antheia&#8217;s commercial manufacturing capacity, advance the company&#8217;s vast pipeline of late-stage biosynthetic pharmaceutical ingredients to market, and establish its U.S. manufacturing operations to support national onshoring priorities.</p>
<p>&#8220;Advanced biosynthesis has immense potential to transform pharmaceutical supply chains and unlock a new era of innovative medicines,&#8221; said Dr. Christina Smolke, CEO and co-founder of Antheia. &#8220;Building on the success of our Series C, this additional infusion of capital will fuel our efforts to address urgent supply chain vulnerabilities and more broadly, lead a paradigm shift for pharmaceutical manufacturing.&#8221;</p>

This approach addresses longstanding shortages, long lead times, and geopolitical risk. We are excited to support Antheia as it builds a more resilient and secure U.S. pharmaceutical ecosystem.&#8221;</p>
