Mirador Therapeutics is a next-generation precision medicine company focused on immunology and inflammation, while Santa Ana Bio is a biotechnology company developing a pipeline of therapeutics to unlock the full potential of precision medicines.

"We are active again in private investing and seeing a lot of opportunity. After a couple of years of slower deployment as we focused on opportunities in the public market, we now expect to head back to our normal pace of about a dozen private deals per year, especially if the IPO window continues to trend positively," said Chief Investment Officer Rod Wong.
