Virobay is focused on the development and commercialization of novel drugs through the utilization of small molecule inhibitors of cysteine proteases, a diverse class of enzyme proteases, for a variety of conditions, including neuropathic pain, autoimmune diseases and fibrosis. The foundation of Virobay's proprietary cathepsin platform and the Virobay management team were spun-out from Celera Genomics, which was then a leader in cathepsin research. Virobay's clinical pipeline currently includes product candidates in neuropathic pain, dermatology, autoimmune disease and fibrosis.
Ambagon’s approach selectively augments the endogenous tumor suppression activity of 14-3-3 proteins bound to transcription factors and oncoproteins that have proven challenging to modulate with conventional approaches. Ambagon’s platform approach will...
Joule has pioneered a CO2-to-fuel production platform, effectively reversing combustion through the use of solar energy. Free of feedstock constraints and complex processing, this platform can achieve unrivaled scalability, volumes and costs without the use of any agricultural land, fresh water or crops. Unlike products derived with complexity from petroleum or biomass, Joule Sunflow® products are produced in a direct, continuous process from abundant resources. The novel CO2-to-liquids conversion requires only sunlight, non-potable water and engineered bacteria that function as living catalysts to produce specific products, including ethanol and hydrocarbon fuels that are inherently compatible with existing infrastructure. Joule’s highly efficient process and production system are well suited for deployment around the world, unhindered by land or resource constraints. This uniquely modular system can achieve replicable productivity, whether installed across 100 or 1,000 acres, mitigating scale-up risks and ensuring stability of supply. At full-scale commercialization in ideal locations, the company ultimately targets 25,000 US gallons of Joule Sunflow®-E (solar ethanol) or 15,000 US gallons of Joule Sunflow®-D (solar diesel) per acre annually, for approximately $1.20/US gallon ($50/barrel). Joule has successfully pilot-tested its platform for over two years, initiated demonstration-scale operations, and assembled a specialized team to lay the groundwork for commercial deployment. The company is moving rapidly to commercialize Joule Sunflow-E, with Joule Sunflow-D and additional hydrocarbon fuels to follow. Joule is privately held and has raised approximately $200 million in funding to date. The company was founded within Flagship VentureLabs™, and operates out of Bedford, Massachusetts and The Hague, The Netherlands, with production operations in Hobbs, New Mexico.
ArsenalBio is a privately held, programmable cell therapy company focused on the realization of solid tumor cell therapy by helping more patients fight cancer and saving lives. Its discovery engine comprises non-viral manufacturing based on its CellFoundry™ technology, integrated circuits incorporating its PrimeR™ logic gates and CAR enhancements from its CARchitecture™ library, enabling multiple pharmaceutical functions. With our programmable and computationally driven approach, we aim for enhanced and broader efficacy, increased patient safety, reduced provider costs and expanded market access.
Our vision is to transform drug discovery from a slow, sequential, and high-failure process into a rapid, integrated, and novel computational platform to accelerate drug discovery.
