Research Alliance II

We are a newly organized blank check company. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business, focusing on the healthcare industry, with an emphasis on the biotechnology sector where our management has extensive investment experience. Our sponsor is an affiliate of RA Capital, a leading life sciences focused investment firm with over $7 billion of regulatory assets under management as of December 31, 2020. Since its launch in 2002, RA Capital has focused exclusively on the healthcare industry. Peter Kolchinsky, PhD, our founding Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, founded RA Capital, where he is a Managing Partner. Matthew Hammond, PhD, our founding Chief Investment Officer and Director and Tess Cameron, our founding Chief Financial Officer and Director, are Principals on the investment team at RA Capital.
