Medicines Brought to Market MDs or PhDs on the Team

We partner with pharmaceutical, biotech and medical technology companies to fund products that address unmet medical needs and have the potential to improve the quality of life for patients around the world.

Blackstone Life Sciences (BXLS) fills a critical void in the industry While the life sciences are seeing unprecedented innovation driven by rapid advancements in science and technology, there is a lack of funding necessary to bring medicines and healthcare technologies to market We invest in and partner with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology companies to help meet this need

BXLS combines clinical, commercial and operational expertise with Blackstone’s knowledge and global network, access to capital, resources and infrastructure We commit our skill and scale to select, fund and advance what we believe to be the most promising life science products and companies through hands-on involvement and directly applied expertise

We seek to deliver value for investors by focusing on areas where we can apply our deep clinical and commercial domain expertise By investing in promising candidates in late-stage development, we aim to make a positive impact on the most people with the lowest clinical risk

The Blackstone Life Sciences team of employees, Senior Advisors and Development Company personnel is responsible — both in its current capacity and prior experiences— for bringing 111 medicines to market in 17 different therapeutic areas.

In March 2022, Blackstone Life Sciences announced a partnership with Sanofi to advance the development of Sarclisa®, a promising treatment for patients with multiple myeloma (MM), a type of blood cancer The partnership will focus on developing a subcutaneous form of the treatment to make its delivery more convenient for patients with MM This partnership showcases the flexible capital and deep expertise that enables BXLS to partner with leading pharmaceutical companies to advance potentially lifesaving products

In April 2020, BXLS led a $2 billion strategic collaboration with Alnylam anchored around the acquisition of a royalty interest in inclisiran, an innovative product, which will potentially bring new benefits to patients with high cholesterol — a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease The drug began receiving regulatory approvals globally in the fall of 2021
