MolecularMD founders Brian Druker (lead clinical investigator for Gleevec, the first molecularly-targeted anticancer agent) and Sheridan G. Snyder (entrepreneur, founder of Genzyme and Upstate Biotechnology) came together with the mission of providing precise, standardized molecular testing for new oncology drugs. The company’s initial accomplishment was in developing and implementing the only standardized assay for quantification of BCR-ABL expression levels, which proved critical to pharmaceutical sponsors in satisfying regulators for approval of the second-generation ABL kinase inhibitors nilotinib (Tasigna, Novartis) and dasatinib (Sprycel, BMS). With that foundational success in supporting pivotal international studies with centralized, high-quality diagnostic services, MolecularMD has become a preferred provider of molecular diagnostics products and services to pharmaceutical and biotech drug developers. Capabilities range from specialty molecular testing services performed in MolecularMD’s centralized CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory, to development of FDA approved companion diagnostics to support new drug registrations.

The b.well connected health platform provides an all-in-one integrated solution for consumer engagement, holistic health management, and cost containment. Our use of longitudinal aggregated data creates a complete picture of health for each consumer and is aggregated to allow for true population health management. Our unique approach to partner integration allows our customers to change their programs in real time as the health needs of their population change, not on an annual sales cycle. With the b.well platform there is one contract, one implementation and the elimination of point-solution fatigue. We provide real-time transparent dashboards to all customers highlighting return on investment, cost containment opportunities, engagement metrics and outreach campaign outcomes, clinical risk factors and disease states. b.well supports health plans, health systems, employers and pharmaceutical companies to bring their digital strategy to life and enables them to provide their employees, members and patients with the one thing they do not have today; one place to manage all aspects of their health.

Discovery Laboratories, Inc. is a specialty biotechnology company focused on advancing a new standard in respiratory critical care. Discovery Labs` technology platform includes its novel proprietary KL4 surfactant, a synthetic, peptide-containing surfactant that is structurally similar to pulmonary surfactant, and its proprietary drug delivery technologies being developed to enable efficient delivery of aerosolized KL4 surfactant and other inhaled therapies. Discovery Labs` strategy is initially focused on neonatology and improving the management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. Discovery Labs believes that its RDS product portfolio has the potential to become the new standard of care for RDS and, over time, enable the treatment of a significantly greater number of premature infants who could benefit from surfactant therapy that are currently not being treated. In many pulmonary diseases, including RDS, acute lung injury (ALI), and other respiratory conditions, surfactant is either deficient or may fail to function properly. Our precision-engineered, peptide-containing KL4 surfactant has been designed to mimic the essential function of human pulmonary surfactant and may have the potential to address conditions such as these. We are developing our proprietary delivery technologies to one day enable efficient, targeted upper-respiratory or alveolar delivery of our KL4 surfactant in aerosolized form to allow for a gentler, less invasive delivery approach. These same delivery systems may also potentially be used to deliver a variety of additional aerosolized medicines safely and in a simplified way compared with the current standard of care.
