Radionetics Oncology Snags $52.5M

San Diego-based Radionetics Oncology, a company that is working on cancer treatments, said this morning that it has raised $52.5M in a Series A funding. The funding was led by Frazier Life Sciences, 5AM Ventures and DCVC Bio. According to Radionetics, it has now raised a total of $82.5M in total funding. As part of the funding, it has named Paul Grayson as CEO of the company, and added Eric Shiozaki of DCVC Bio to its board of directors.
