biOasis Technologies Inc., an early stage biopharmaceutical company, engages in the research, development, and commercialization of technologies and products for the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system diseases and disorders. The company develops Transcend program, a protein vector, which is a proprietary carrier for the transport of therapeutic agents across the blood brain barrier for treatment of a range of neurological, oncological, and infectious disease applications; and Cognitest, a proprietary in vitro diagnostic assay for Alzheimer’s disease. It has a collaborative research agreement with the University of British Columbia to assist the company in development of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to detect levels of p97 in blood for the purpose of evaluating the correlation between p97 and Alzheimer’s disease. The company was incorporated in 2006 and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.
ALOOKS SALON is a Pinole, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Libra Therapeutics is focused on developing novel disease-modifying therapeutics that can restore the cellular balance disrupted in neurodegenerative diseases.
Tarveda Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that takes a novel approach to cancer treatment by creating proprietary Pentarins, which are potent and selective, miniaturized conjugates uniquely designed to drive efficacy through deep and rapid penetration into solid tumors resulting in sustained payload accumulation and cancer cell death. Through our Pentarin platform, we are developing therapeutics to address the limitations of current cancer therapies in solid tumors.
