VenatoRx Pharmaceuticals is a private pharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of novel anti-infective agents to address the threat of antibiotic resistance. The company name, VenatoRx (ven-a-TOR-ex), derives from the latin word “venator”, meaning hunter and “Rx”, the medical symbol for drugs. The pursuit, or “hunt”, for new drugs is the core mission of the company. Located northwest of Philadelphia in Malvern, PA, the company was founded in 2010 by Drs. Burns, Xerri, and Pevear. Since founding, the company has received multiple awards from the NIH, including 5 Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants and an R01 grant. The company has also been awarded a contract from the NIH and funding from the Wellcome Trust to advance the company’s product candidates.

InnovaPrep is engaged in product development, manufacturing, sales, service, and related out-licensing of a collection of novel technologies enabling rapid detection of biological particles and pathogens. Our core business is biological sample collection, concentration and preparation. The company has commercialized a collection of market-disruptive platform technologies for rapid, automated concentration of biological particles. InnovaPrep`s 35 pending and awarded patents apply to highly efficient collection, recovery, and concentration of biological particles from air, surfaces, and liquids. Our elution process underlies many of these patents and enables recovery of particles from filters, membranes, surfaces, and objects. The primary utility for these technologies is to greatly improve the way biological samples, especially those containing pathogenic organisms, are collected and prepared for analysis beyond the state-of-the-art. These technologies fill a critical void that currently severely limits application of the most advanced biological detection systems to the billions of microbiological tests performed annually. Markets served: Biodefense, food safety, water safety, biopharma, clinical research, animal health, environmental monitoring and others.
