Exicure is developing a new class of immunomodulatory and gene silencing drugs against validated targets. Our 3-dimensional, spherical nucleic acid (SNA™) architecture unlocks the potential of nucleic acid therapeutics in multiple organs. Our lead programs address diseases from inflammatory disorders to oncology. SNA constructs overcome one of the most difficult obstacles to nucleic acid therapeutics: safe and effective delivery into cells and tissues. SNA constructs exhibit unparalleled transfection efficiency into numerous cell and tissue types including the skin without carriers or transfection agents. Moreover, SNAs can be used as potent immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or infectious disease.
Volastra aims to extend the lives of patients with cancer by leveraging unique insights into chromosomal instability. Moving away from primary tumor models to target the site of metastasis in the toughest-to-treat solid tumors, we are altering the treatment paradigm for metastatic cancers.
Botanix Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company listed on the ASX (ASX: BOT) with headquarters in Perth, Australia, and Philadelphia, USA. The company specializes in clinical-stage dermatology and antimicrobial treatments, focusing on synthetic cannabinoid-based therapies that utilize cannabidiol (CBD) and its proprietary skin-delivery technology, Permetrex™. The companys product pipeline includes several innovative therapies aimed at addressing common dermatological conditions. These include BTX 1503 for moderate-to-severe acne, BTX 1702 for rosacea, and BTX 1204A for moderate atopic dermatitis. Additionally, BTX 1801 targets infections in hemodialysis patients and other antimicrobial applications. All products leverage the Permetrex™ delivery system to enhance skin absorption, and Botanix is also exploring veterinary applications for atopic dermatitis. Botanix aims to improve patient outcomes by addressing unmet needs in dermatology and antimicrobial resistance, positioning itself as a leader in cannabinoid-based dermatological treatments.
ARCA was founded on the belief that a precision medicine approach to drug development, tailoring medical treatment to the individual genetic characteristics of patients, can enable more effective therapies, improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. ARCA`s lead development program is intended to be a direct implementation of those ideas. Gencaro™ (bucindolol hydrochloride) is being developed as a potential treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). ARCA has identified genetic variations in cardiac receptors that we believe may predict individual patient response to Gencaro™, giving Gencaro™ the potential to be the first genetically-targeted prevention treatment for AF. ARCA is also developing rNAPc2 as potential treatment for RNA-associated diseases, initially focused on COVID-19.
Resolve Biosciences is applying the power of Molecular Cartography to enable scientists to gain new insights based on the highest-resolution view of spatial biology. The platform features the company`s proprietary, highly multiplexed, single-molecule detection technology, which offers full spatial context at subcellular resolution, all in a fully automated workflow that preserves the sample tissue. The Molecular Cartography technology offers unparalleled sensitivity and specificity that helps scientists detect individual transcripts and rare signals to interpret fundamental biology and rapidly advance the understanding of complex biological questions in critical fields such as oncology, neuroscience, and infectious disease. The technology has been under development since 2016 and is currently available through Resolve Biosciences` commercial service laboratory. Resolve Biosciences is privately held and based in Monheim am Rhein, Germany, with a North American facility and laboratory in San Jose, Calif.
