AmCyte Inc. is a Santa Monica, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Sengenics is a functional proteomics company that leverages its patented KREX technology to discover autoantibody biomarker signatures for prediction of drug response and severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs). KREX™ was invented and patented by Professor Jonathan Blackburn whilst he was a member of the faculty at the University of Cambridge. Jonathan is the CSO of Sengenics. The key application of KREX™ is the discovery of autoantibody biomarker signatures for prediction of drug response and severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs). KREX™ can also be used to identify autoantibody biomarkers that may be used to diagnose cancer, autoimmune or neurodegenerative conditions years before conventional diagnostic tests. Some autoantibodies that are identified as diagnostic biomarkers may be protective and have potential in themselves as therapeutic biomolecules.
DBV Technologies (DBV) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering safe and effective treatments for patients with food allergies and other unmet medical needs. DBV has developed a proprietary technology platform called Viaskin®, which is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT®, DBV`s method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system. This novel mechanism of action accesses the immune system through intact skin without allowing passage of the antigen into the bloodstream. The company is also exploring Viaskin® in other areas of unmet need including vaccines, inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases. DBV was founded in 2002 by Dr. Pierre-Henri Benhamou, Chairman and CEO, Dr. Christophe Dupont, Chairman of DBV`s Scientific Advisory Board, and Mr. Bertrand Dupont, Chief Technology Officer.
biOasis Technologies Inc., an early stage biopharmaceutical company, engages in the research, development, and commercialization of technologies and products for the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system diseases and disorders. The company develops Transcend program, a protein vector, which is a proprietary carrier for the transport of therapeutic agents across the blood brain barrier for treatment of a range of neurological, oncological, and infectious disease applications; and Cognitest, a proprietary in vitro diagnostic assay for Alzheimer’s disease. It has a collaborative research agreement with the University of British Columbia to assist the company in development of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to detect levels of p97 in blood for the purpose of evaluating the correlation between p97 and Alzheimer’s disease. The company was incorporated in 2006 and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
