Arvinas is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new small molecules ‒ known as PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) ‒ aimed at degrading disease-causing cellular proteins via proteolysis. Based on innovative research conducted at Yale University by Dr. Craig Crews, Founder and Chief Scientific Advisor, the company is translating natural protein degradation approaches into novel drugs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The proprietary PROTAC-based drug paradigm induces protein degradation, rather than protein inhibition, using the ubiquitin proteasome system and offers the advantage of potentially targeting “undruggable” as well as “druggable” elements of the proteome. This greatly expands the ability to create drugs for many new, previously unapproachable targets.
G-Biosciences/ Genotech is a Maryland Heights, MO-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Adaptive Phage Therapeutics (APT) is a clinical-stage company advancing therapies addressing multi-drug resistant infections. Prior antimicrobial therapeutic approaches have been “fixed,” while pathogens continue to evolve resistance to each of those therapeutics, causing those drug products to become rapidly less effective in commercial use as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) increases over time. APT`s PhageBank™ approach leverages an ever-expanding library of bacteriophage (phage) that collectively provide evergreen broad spectrum and polymicrobial coverage. PhageBank™ phages are matched through a proprietary phage susceptibility assay that APT has teamed with Mayo Clinic Laboratories to commercialize on a global scale. APT`s technology was originally developed by the biodefense program of U.S. Department of Defense. APT acquired the world-wide exclusive commercial rights in 2017. Under FDA emergency Investigational New Drug allowance, APT has provided investigational PhageBank™ therapy to treat more than 40 critically ill patients in which standard-of-care antibiotics had failed.
Founded in 2017, Unlearn.AI brings together a world-class team of experts across pharma, physics, machine learning, and business who share a vision of pioneering AI to eliminate trial and error in medicine. Unlearn is the only company creating TwinRCTsTM, which combine AI, prognostic digital twins, and novel statistical methods to run clinical trials requiring fewer patients in the control arm. Unlearn`s technology is used by leading global pharmaceutical companies, including Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, and has been published in conference abstracts and scientific journals, including Scientific Reports - Nature and The International Journal of Biostatistics. The European Medicines Agency qualifies Unlearn`s PROCOVA™ procedure, which provides the regulatory framework for the application of TwinRCTs to Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials.
