Private Company Edition: Attovia will advance two anti-IL-31 programs with its $105m in series B funding, while ImmuNext secured $575m in a Royalty Pharma deal for its Sanofi-partnered drug. Also, Bluejay and Aardvark raised $182m and $85m, respectively, in series C rounds. 

The drug maker has its eye on six Phase III or Phase III-ready programs that it hopes will return the company to growth. It also highlighted investments in AI and digital technology.

Daily notebook from the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference: Biogen is still looking for deals, just smaller; Sanofi's push in immunology has pulled it away from oncology; Sage provides updates on Zurzuvae launch; and Takeda plans a big program for its TYK-2 inhibitor. 

Plus deals involving Biocytogen, Neurocrine and Ona, Aeterna Zentaris/Ceapro, Teva/Biolojic Design, Pathos AI/Rain Oncology, Inhibitor Therapeutics/Johns Hopkins and more.
