Aspect Biosystems, a biotechnology company has recently closed a US$115 million Series B financing round.

This financing builds on Aspect’s recent momentum, including a CA$200 million partnership with the governments of Canada and British Columbia and a partnership with Novo Nordisk focused on diabetes and obesity.

Proceeds from the Series B enable Aspect to advance multiple bioprinted tissue therapeutics towards the clinic with a mission to deliver a new class of cellular medicines and functional cures for people living with serious metabolic and endocrine diseases. Additionally, the funds will fuel the expansion of Aspect’s industry-leading, full-stack tissue therapeutic platform, which integrates proprietary AI-powered bioprinting technology, computational design tools, therapeutic cells, and advanced biomaterials.

The financing was led by Dimension, a multistage investment firm dedicated to the interface of technology and the life sciences, with participation from existing and new investors including Novo Nordisk, Radical Ventures, an undisclosed leading global investment firm, InBC, Pallasite Ventures, Pangaea Ventures, Rhino Ventures, and T1D Fund: A Breakthrough T1D Venture.

“Aspect is an embodiment of the multi-disciplinary companies that we believe will define the next chapter of biotech,” said Nan Li, Founder & Managing Partner, Dimension. “The company brings together capabilities across tissue engineering, cell therapy, biomaterials, computer vision and robotics to deliver on the promise of regenerative medicine. We are beyond excited to partner with the Aspect team to advance their programs forward and to build a generational company.”
