C4 Therapeutics has launched from James E. Bradner’s lab at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with $73 million in financing. The firm is developing Degronimids, small-molecule binders that target disease-causing proteins and facilitate their clearance from cells through the natural ubiquitin-proteasome system.

The deal could be worth more than $750 million.
