Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals is a Gaithersburg, MD-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Recognizing the importance of managing a traumatic bleed quickly and effectively, Joe Landolina and Isaac Miller founded Cresilon, Inc. based on the hemostatic plant-based gel technology Joe invented while experimenting in the lab. Cresilon has since grown into a biotechnology company headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, commercializing our medical device technology in the animal health, trauma care, and surgical markets.
Aquascience Research Group is a Kansas City, MO-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.

The company has engineered a new solution that successfully enables early-stage chronic kidney disease, progression risk assessment. The Company`s lead product, KidneyIntelX, has been granted Breakthrough Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is designed to help make significant improvements in kidney disease prognosis, transplant management, clinical care, patient stratification for drug clinical trials, and drug target discovery.
Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral stability characteristics onto them. The platform has been optimized over the years and involves synergistic integration of rational drug design, diversity oriented computational tools, phage display libraries, recombinant peptide expression, ex vivo oral stability methods, and peptide/medicinal chemistry techniques. This activity has led to the identification of ‘privileged scaffolds’ with favorable oral stability characteristics. Furthermore, the technology platform is well suited both for de novo discovery against a target and optimization around a given chemical starting point.
