    Novartis is buying Gyroscope Therapeutics for up to $1.5 billion, as the Swiss drugmaker looks to bolster its gene therapy roster with the British firm’s treatment for an eye condition that can cause blindness.

    Gyroscope’s parent company, London-listed healthcare investment firm Syncona Ltd, said on Wednesday that Novartis will pay $800 million upfront and up to $700 million in additional milestone payments.
