CombiMatrix Corporation is a Irvine, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Yumanity Therapeutics is transforming drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases caused by protein misfolding. Despite the fact that an estimated 50 million people worldwide suffer from diseases affecting the brain and central nervous system, there are no approved disease-modifying therapies or cures. Yumanity is working to identify and develop new, disease-modifying therapies that address several illnesses with critical unmet medical needs, including Alzheimer`s disease, Parkinson`s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The company`s approach concentrates on correcting the cellular pathologies driven by misfolded proteins, the altered biology or phenotypes driving these diseases. Yumanity Therapeutics was founded in December 2014 by Susan Lindquist, Ph.D., award-winning protein folding expert, and Tony Coles, M.D., a renowned biotech industry leader. The company`s proprietary platforms have already identified one potential new target for treating Parkinson`s disease, and Yumanity is actively advancing its new chemical lead series for this condition, as well as identifying additional compounds for Alzheimer`s disease and ALS. Targeting the underlying protein pathology of neurodegenerative diseases allows the company to discover therapies that may modify the root cause of these rather than only addressing their symptoms.

Aytu BioScience, Inc. is a specialty healthcare company focused on developing treatments for urological and related conditions. The Company is currently completing Phase 3 clinical development for its lead therapeutic candidate Zertane™, an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulated specifically for the on-demand treatment of premature ejaculation (PE). The Company`s therapeutic pipeline is supported in part by its first-in-class RedoxSYS® System, which provides the only complete assessment of patients` redox status and enables identification of a broad variety of disorders where redox is implicated. Clinical studies are underway utilizing the RedoxSYS system in male fertility. The Company also recently acquired and is commercializing FDA-approved ProstaScint® (capromab pendetide), a radio-labeled monoclonal antibody, that targets Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), a protein uniquely expressed by prostate tissue. The Company`s strategy is to develop its core therapeutic and diagnostic assets while building an innovative pipeline of established marketed products and late-stage development assets.
