Rectify Pharmaceuticals has launched with $100 million in series A financing to develop drugs that restore the function of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC transporters are membrane-bound proteins that move molecules across cell membranes and are mutated in some genetic diseases. The start-up was founded in 2020 by Jonathan Moore. He was also a founding scientist at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, where he helped develop drugs that restore the function of CFTR, an ABC transporter that is mutated in cystic fibrosis.
