International Human Frontier Science Program Organization Releases 2024-2032 Strategic Plan: “Frontier Life Science in a Time of Change”

STRASBOURG, France, Feb. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) issued today its new, nine-year strategic plan which will greatly enhance Research Grant and Fellowship award programs and implement new initiatives to extend opportunities to more diverse researchers.

 

 

This focus comes at a time when global governments have been urgently calling for basic research to take key roles in pioneering a healthier, better future for humanity given the issues we face. Indeed, during the 2023 G7 Summit in Hiroshima, global leaders called for greater investment in basic research to uncover new knowledge and tools to address critical challenges facing humanity – during the S7 meeting, global science ministers praised HFSPO’s role in this process and committed to continue to support the Program.

As a strategy and roadmap to that future, “Frontier Life Science in a Time of Change” is unique because HFSPO is unique. A voluntary organization made up of 16 Member countries plus the European Commission, HFSPO is not bound by national priorities nor agencies that opt for incremental progress. HFSPO was chartered by the G7 in 1987 to open new frontiers in basic research by funding investigations for which there are no prior studies and to do so for the benefit of humankind.

“HFSPO drives scientists to expand the frontiers of science, to explore new horizons previously hidden from view, if you will,” said Pavel Kabat, HFSPO Secretary-General. “Knowledge is only in part cumulative – it also involves having the imagination to see things differently. And this is why HFSPO exists. Our role in the science enterprise is to cultivate brilliance and reward courage and creativity. That’s a tall order, and to continue to sustain that drive, we had to develop a smart strategy.”

The plan was officially approved by the HFSPO Board of Trustees with all Member countries committing to support the tenets of the plan and its fiscal basis during the 2023 Triennial Conference of HFSPO Members held in Paris.

Because HFSPO has such a specific focus, the 2024-2032 Strategic Plan is similarly aligned to this ambition. Based on four principles: Vitality, Connectivity, Diversity, and Foresight, the plan lays out three goals. Goal #1 is the overarching focus with Goal #2 and #3 as the support framework that is essential to truly expand frontier science in new, previously unimagined ways.

  • Goal #1 – Expand Frontier Science
  • Goal #2 – Strengthen HFSPO Through Engagement
  • Goal #3 – Become a Globally Inclusive Organization

“This plan stimulates growth by expanding the number of awards we give – thus, increasing and deepening the power and impact of discovery science at a time when humanity most needs new ideas,” said Shigekazu Nagata, President of HFSPO. “Likewise, through these goals HFSPO commits to broadening the range of perspectives involved in driving cutting-edge science by prioritizing diversity. We want to invite a wider range of scientists from different countries, cultures, and points of view to help shape the future of discovery.”

The Human Frontier Science Program was established by the G7 countries at the initiative of former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone of Japan at the 1987 Venice Summit. Open to scientists of every nation, HFSPO is supported by 17 Members: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, and the European Commission. The mission of HFSPO is to foster bold, basic, frontier research in the life sciences and interdisciplinary collaborations around the world. Since 1990, more than 8,500 researchers from more than 70 countries have been supported. Of these, 29 HFSP awardees have gone on to win the Nobel Prize.

  • Naveed Siddiqi, Senior Partner, Venture Investments, Novo Holdings, to join the Windward Bio Board of Directors

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Novo Holdings, a leading life science investor, today announced that it has invested in a $200M Series A launch financing for Windward Bio. Headquartered in Switzerland, Windward Bio is a clinical-stage drug development company committed to improving outcomes for people living with advanced immunological diseases with an initial focus on severe respiratory conditions.

The oversubscribed Series A launch financing was co-led by OrbiMed, Novo Holdings and Blue Owl Healthcare Opportunities, and joined by SR One, Omega Funds, RTW Investments, Qiming Venture Partners, Quan Capital, and Pivotal bioVenture Partners.

Windward Bio’s lead candidate, WIN378, which has been in-licensed from Kelun-Biotech and Harbour BioMed, is a potential best-in-class, long-acting monoclonal antibody targeting the ligand of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) that has the potential to be dosed every six months.

The Company is preparing to begin a Phase 2 trial investigating WIN378 in severe asthma, with initial clinical readouts expected in 2026. Additional clinical trials are planned in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), aiming to address unmet needs in approximately 5 million advanced, uncontrolled patients in the US, Europe, and Japan.

In addition to WIN378, Windward Bio is building a discovery pipeline of long-acting bispecifics, harnessing validated targets and synergistic biology to achieve best-in-disease efficacy for immunology indications. The Series A financing supports the advancement of two undisclosed programs through Investigational New Drug (IND)–enabling studies.

“Our mission in starting Windward Bio is to discover and develop novel therapeutics for people living with serious immunological conditions,” said Luca Santarelli, MD, founder, CEO, and Chairman of Windward Bio. “Targeting the TSLP ligand is a highly validated approach in multiple immunological conditions, and WIN378 represents a significant advance in TSLP therapy by enhancing the benefits of this class with a dosing regimen of every six months, which can reduce the burden of treatment and improve outcomes for people living with severe asthma.”

Naveed Siddiqi, Senior Partner, Novo Holdings, said: “Addressing the unmet needs of patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma and COPD, particularly through innovative therapies that reduce the burden of care for both individuals and healthcare systems, represents a meaningful advancement in respiratory care. WIN378, with its best-in-class potential to provide effective treatment through a six-month dosing regimen, could transform how these challenging conditions are managed, offering both clinical and practical benefits. At Novo Holdings, we are committed to supporting innovative approaches that improve patient outcomes. We are excited to partner once again with the management team of Windward Bio, serial entrepreneurs with a proven track record of success.”

Led by CEO Luca Santarelli, Windward Bio’s founding team comprises seasoned biopharmaceutical executives with significant expertise in advancing compounds from target identification through to commercialisation. Collectively, they have contributed to over 15 product launches, executed two Nasdaq IPOs, and completed two strategic exits.

The Board of directors will initially include Luca Santarelli, MD (CEO); David Bonita, MD (OrbiMed); Naveed Siddiqi, MD (Novo Holdings); Tim Anderson (Blue Owl Healthcare Opportunities); Iqbal Mufti (SR One); and Otello Stampacchia, PhD (Omega Funds). Campbell Stewart, MD (Principal, Venture Investments, Novo Holdings), joins as Observer to the Board.

About WIN378

WIN378 is a novel, recombinant, fully human monoclonal antibody that potently binds to the TSLP ligand, which is a well-validated cytokine that plays a key role in the development and progression of a wide array of immunological diseases, including asthma and COPD.
