Luke Timmerman 6/1/09

Seattle Genetics, the Bothell, WA-based developer of targeted antibody drugs, has raised another $11.5 million, according to a regulatory filing. The company received approval from existing shareholders sell more shares to Baker Brothers Life Sciences, an investment firm led by one of the firm’s directors, Felix Baker. The $11.5 million sale was a follow-on transaction from a $55 million offering the company pulled together in January.
