Driven by our proprietary Enhanced Delivery Oligonucleotide (EDO) platform, we are creating a pipeline of disease-modifying therapeutics with the potential to safely and effectively target the root cause of serious genetic neuromuscular and neurological disorders.
Progenics is a North York, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies aims to disrupt the paradigm of biological analysis. Our technology and commercial model has already opened up DNA analysis to researchers who previously had no direct access to sequencing technologies, freeing them up to perform analyses in their own labs, in real time or in the field. Over time, the technology will continue to improve, new form factors of the technology will be introduced and workflows will be further simplified by new preparation techniques or analysis workflows. This technology pathway is designed to enable the analysis of any living thing, by any person, in any environment. Oxford Nanopore has developed the worlds first and only nanopore DNA sequencer, the MinION. The MinION is a portable, real time, long-read, low cost device that has been designed to bring easy biological analyses to anyone, whether in scientific research, education or a range of real world applications such as disease/pathogen surveillance, environmental monitoring, food chain surveillance, self-quantification or even microgravity biology. Commercially available since 2015, the MinION is in use by a thriving community of scientists in >50 countries, where it is enabling myriad applications within the traditional laboratory environment and in the field. Nanopore sensing technology is fully scalable. The GridION X5 is a desktop device that includes compute module and the ability to run up to five MinION Flow Cells. The the high-throughput/sample number PromethION is currently being released in the PromethION Early Access Programme (PEAP). Oxford Nanopore is focused on making DNA based analyses easy enough for any user and so we are working to simplify the sample preparation and data analysis processes. For sample preparation this includes a 5-10 minute sample prep kit, and VolTRAX (in development), a rapid, programmable, portable, disposable sample preparation device designed to prepare DNA for addition to a nanopore sequencing device.
AlloVir, formerly ViraCyte, was founded in 2013 and is the leader in the development of novel cell therapies with a focus on restoring natural immunity against life-threatening virus-associated diseases in patients with severely weakened immune systems.
Our Mission: Change the world for patients with cardiovascular disease through bold and innovative science. MyoKardia is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a precision medicine approach to discover, develop and commercialize targeted therapies for the treatment of serious and neglected rare cardiovascular diseases. Our initial focus: treatment of heritable cardiomyopathies, a group of genetically-driven forms of heart failure that result from biomechanical defects in cardiac muscle contraction. We are a growing community of employees who enjoy working with and learning from each other. We collaborate in a way that ensures the growth of the company as well each employee individually. MyoKardia is committed to creating a culture that`s centered on our core values. We seek individuals who not only offer expertise in their respective fields, but can serve as cultural leaders and role models for our values.
