Eli Lilly is making a small equity investment in a startup that recently became a research partner. The $15 million investment announced Tuesday comes two months after Lilly agreed to begin a partnership with London-based MiNA Therapeutics, which is developing small activating RNA therapies (saRNA). SaRNA drugs are a new class of medicines that work by a mechanism called RNA activation, which the London-based biotech likens to hitting the “on” switch for the production of a particular protein.
