Tectonic Therapeutic has raised $80 million in series A financing for G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) drug discovery. The Watertown, Massachusetts–based start-up was cofounded in 2019 by Andrew Kruse and Timothy Springer, both professors in Harvard Medical School’s Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology.
