Hematologic diseases specialist Disc Medicine (Nasdaq: IRON) has announced a $62.5 million financing.

Bain Capital Life Sciences led the financing, contributing $50 million, with participation from existing investors, Access Biotechnology and OrbiMed.

It has been a busy period for Disc, which went public upon completion of a reverse merger late last year.

This is set to be developed as a treatment for polycythemia vera and other indications.
