GSK entered into a partnership with U.S. biotech Flagship Pioneering to identify new medicines and vaccines, in a move to further boost its pipeline.

The British pharma giant said Monday that its deal with the bioplatform innovation company aims to start with identifying a portfolio of 10 drugs in the respiratory and immunology area, each subject to an exclusive option by GSK.

GSK and Flagship Pioneering will jointly fund up to $150 million of research. Flagship Pioneering and its bioplatform companies are eligible to receive up to $720 million upfront, including development and commercial milestones, preclinical funding and tiered royalties, for each program acquired by GSK, it said.
