The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced plans Friday for a $2.1 billion investment into public health infrastructure for infection prevention across healthcare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis clinics and ambulatory surgery centers.

Bankrolled by the American Rescue Plan, the investments are an effort to stem the spread of emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19 and healthcare-associated infections that have surged over the past year, the agency said.

“This funding will dramatically improve the safety and quality of the healthcare delivered in the United States during the pandemic and in the future,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, M.D., said in a statement.

September 20, 2021 - Fierce Healthcare
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is offering federal resources to protect abortion providers and patients in Texas as well as the rest of the country. The department’s announcement Friday included a list of planned actions like grant support for clinics and legal protections for healthcare workers and pregnant patients. Following the passage of Texas’ Senate Bill 8, otherwise known as the "heartbeat bill," the Biden administration has directed a number of government agencies, including HHS, to find ways to safeguard reproductive rights for Texans.

September 20, 2021 - Fierce Biotech
After gaining high-profile backing from Sanofi last November, French venture firm Jeito Capital has pulled together more partners to close its first fund at 534 million euros ($630 million). That large pool of capital will go toward financing between 12 and 15 European biopharmas and contributes to the mission of CEO and founder Rafaèle Tordjman, M.D., Ph.D., who was tasked by the French government with boosting the biotech ecosystem in the country earlier this summer. Jeito will invest up to $100 million in a portfolio company. 

September 21, 2021 - Fierce Biotech
Smartphones are already being used to read COVID-19 test results, screen for conditions ranging from autism to pancreatic cancer and manage ultrasound wands, cardiac monitors and other medical devices. Soon enough, the iPhone in your pocket could also automatically detect mental health issues like depression, anxiety and cognitive decline—all based on the daily activity data already gathered by the device. Findings from research partnerships that Apple has formed with Biogen and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) are being used to develop algorithms able to assess mental health status.

September 22, 2021 - Fierce Biotech
We all want to be the fungi. Hexagon Bio wants to be the fungi by using those organisms to create new treatments for cancer and infectious diseases, and investors are joining the party with $61 million. That financing adds to the $47 million series A raised nearly a year ago to the day for a genomics database that discovers refined secondary metabolites and protein targets. Secondary metabolites, colloquially known as natural products, are small molecules made by bacteria, fungi and plants. About 49% of FDA-approved small molecule cancer drugs and 73% of antibiotics are derived from these secondary metabolites, Hexagon said at the time of its series A.
