Micell Technologies Inc is a Raleigh, NC-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Ology Bioservices is a private, American biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Alachua, Florida.
San Diego-based Biocept, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOC) develops and performs diagnostic assays that provide clinically actionable information to improve outcomes for patients with a variety of cancers. Biocept`s unique combination of cell-based and cell-free DNA analysis allows us to rapidly detect and monitor certain cancer biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Our patented Target Selector™ technology quantitatively analyzes tumor cells for tumor-associated biomarkers, offering high sensitivity and specificity compared with methods currently used by other laboratories. In addition to our broad portfolio of blood-based liquid biopsy tests, we offer the CNSide™ CSF assay, which addresses an unmet clinical need for patients with cancer that has metastasized to the central nervous system. Between 10% and 30% of patients with cancer will develop brain or spinal cord metastasis. Survival is often low, and few are diagnosed early enough for effective therapeutic intervention. CNSide answers three key questions: Is there a tumor? Is there a target for treatment? Is there a trend in treatment response? We offer diagnostic laboratory services for oncologists, pathologists, hospitals, cancer centers, universities, pharmaceutical and clinical researchers, and other healthcare providers. Our CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory combines a highly trained professional staff with innovative instrumentation for optimal test results and quality control. Biocept works with strategic industry leaders, as well as major cancer centers across the U.S., to further its mission of helping to improve outcomes for cancer patients. We also are utilizing our molecular diagnostic capabilities to offer nationwide RT-PCR-based COVID-19 testing and services to support public health efforts. Revenue from COVID-19 testing has supported further investment in our core oncology business, positioning the company for long-term success.
Intellia Therapeutics is a leading genome editing company whose mission is to develop potentially curative gene editing treatments that can positively transform the lives of people living with severe and life-threatening diseases. We are focused on the development of proprietary therapeutics using a recently developed biological tool known as the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The promise of the CRISPR/Cas9 system is the driving force behind the creation of Intellia. Our founders have a shared belief that the CRISPR/Cas9 technology has the potential to transform medicine by permanently editing disease-associated genes in the human body with a single treatment course. This technology offers the potential for us to develop curative therapeutic options for patients with chronic diseases by addressing the underlying cause of the disease. It can bring new hope and cures to people who now have nowhere to turn for help. Our combination of deep scientific expertise and clinical development experience, along with our leading intellectual property portfolio, puts Intellia in a unique position to unlock broad therapeutic applications of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology and create a new class of therapeutic products. Intellia has the right people, assets and ambitious vision needed to take full advantage of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology`s attributes – high potency, specificity, simplicity of use, broad applicability, and multifunctional programmability – and accelerate the advancement of curative products into the clinic.
OncoSec Medical Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing its ImmunoPulse immunotherapy to treat solid tumors. OncoSec Medical’s core technology leverages a proprietary electroporation platform to enhance the local delivery and uptake of DNA IL-12 and other DNA-based immune-modulating agents. Clinical studies of ImmunoPulse have demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity in the treatment of various skin cancers as well as the potential to initiate a systemic immune response without the systemic toxicities associated with other treatments. OncoSec’s clinical programs currently include three Phase 2 trials targeting metastatic melanoma Merkel cell carcinoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma conducted in collaboration with several prominent academic medical centers. As the company continues to evaluate ImmunoPulse in these indications it is also investigating additional indications and combination therapeutic approaches.
