NanoCellect`s mission is to facilitate biomedical breakthroughs by making cell analysis and sorting technology more affordable and easier to use. Our microfluidic flow cytometry platforms enable biomedical scientists to analyze and sort cells required for drug discovery, diagnostics, and basic research. The company was founded in late 2009 as a spinout from UCSD and dedicated 6 years developing the foundation of the WOLF`s technology before launching the WOLF (our first product) in 2016. Initial funding of R&D was graciously funded by multiple NIH SBIR grants and contracts and recently backed by FusionX Ventures and other private investors.
GreenLight Biosciences aims to address some of the world`s biggest problems by delivering on the full potential of RNA for human health and agriculture. Our RNA platform allows us to research, design, and manufacture for human, animal, and plant health. In human health, this includes messenger RNA vaccines and therapeutics. In agriculture, this includes RNA to protect honeybees and a range of crops. The company`s platform is protected by numerous patents. GreenLight`s human health product candidates are in the pre-clinical stage, and its product candidates for the agriculture market are in the early stages of development or regulatory review. GreenLight is a public benefit corporation that trades under the ticker GRNA on Nasdaq.
AmacaThera is a Toronto-based biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing a unique, injectable hydrogel platform technology for a wide range of medical applications.
Switch Therapeutics is an emerging preclinical stage biotechnology company pioneering a new type of medicine that integrates nucleic acid nanotechnology and RNA interference (RNAi) science with the goal of treating a range of diseases – affecting the central nervous system and systemic indications – with significant unmet needs. Switch`s novel gene knockdown approach is based on technology developed by renowned researchers in the field of RNA from Caltech, Harvard and City of Hope. Based on the scientific discovery of Switch`s co-founders, the company has developed a novel proprietary platform known as CASi (Conditionally Activated siRNAs) that combines advantageous properties of both single and double-stranded RNAs in a single molecule, allowing for cell selective RNAi activity. To date, Switch has raised $52M in funding through Series A, and the company`s South San Francisco based team has continued to grow as its research has advanced.
Volastra aims to extend the lives of patients with cancer by leveraging unique insights into chromosomal instability. Moving away from primary tumor models to target the site of metastasis in the toughest-to-treat solid tumors, we are altering the treatment paradigm for metastatic cancers.
