SkylineDx is a pioneer in the field of molecular diagnostics through developing and commercializing innovative, signature-based diagnostics with a high clinical value that help to provide physicians and patients with the best individual care possible. At SkylineDx we transform life sciences into the daily practice of clinical diagnostics. We enable patients to benefit sooner and safer from new insights in the molecular basis of disease. We can truly make a difference by making our love of life tangible as state-of-the-art diagnostic products with a high clinical value. Our products are designed to support clinicians in making the right choices for their patients. This provides a unique and very real difference. Obvious perhaps, but never taken for granted here at SkylineDx.
A large molecule CRO combining world-class protein chemistry expertise, integrated large molecule analytical services, and coagulation reagents for biopharma R&D.
Quellis was founded to deliver best-in-class therapies to patients suffering serious rare diseases – and underserved by current treatment options. The Company is based in Boston, and is led by partners from the biotech incubator Viridian LLC in collaboration with team at biotech accelerator Xontogeny LLC, and with funding from the Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund. The Quellis team has deep experience in mAb discovery and development, company creation, and private and public biotech investment. Our shared goal is to create meaningful medicines for every disease we target.
Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral stability characteristics onto them. The platform has been optimized over the years and involves synergistic integration of rational drug design, diversity oriented computational tools, phage display libraries, recombinant peptide expression, ex vivo oral stability methods, and peptide/medicinal chemistry techniques. This activity has led to the identification of ‘privileged scaffolds’ with favorable oral stability characteristics. Furthermore, the technology platform is well suited both for de novo discovery against a target and optimization around a given chemical starting point.
Second Genome is a clinical stage company with a mission to improve human health by unlocking the full potential of the microbiome. We offer the most robust approach to microbiome drug discovery and development through the deepest understanding of how the microbiome works in human health.
