Learn more about Cara Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focusing on pharmaceutical product development for better pruritus and pain management.
Juventas Therapeutics is a private clinical-stage company developing novel therapies for ischemic cardiovascular disease. The company`s lead product` JVS-100` is a non-viral plasmid that encodes for stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). SDF-1 has been shown to significantly increase end-organ function following tissue injury by promoting cell survival` recruiting endogenous stem cells to the damaged region` and promoting new blood vessel growth. The SDF-1 repair pathway is well conserved throughout end-organ systems providing the opportunity to impact a broad range of diseases. Target cardiovascular clinical indications address large markets with high unmet medical need and significant market potential. Juventas is currently enrolling multiple clinical trials to test therapy efficacy in heart failure and critical limb ischemia patients.
Agrivida is developing and commercializing solutions that are the next evolutionary step in animal nutrition, using the plant as a factory to produce and deliver highly differentiated products. We are transforming the economics of enzyme and animal feed production through our use of plant-expressed enzymes and plant modification to develop transformational products for monogastric and ruminant animal nutrition.
BioHitech America is the industry leader in the development of a simple, cost-effective food waste disposal technology designed to solve today’s landfill diversion and sustainability objectives. The Eco-Safe Digester handles food waste at the point of generation, no residual food waste to store or transport. The Eco-Safe Digester can convert up to 2,400 pounds of food waster per day into a nutrient-neutral grey water that can safely be disposed of via municipal sewer systems. The Eco-Safe Digester saves money by avoiding disposal costs and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by providing a sustainable means of transportation for the waste by-product with doesn’t require on-road transportation. The Eco-Safe Digester’s cloud-based management solution is designed to measure and collect food waste data. It correlates information to report cost savings and environmental reductions as well as communicate opportunities to prevent waste altogether. This modifiable data can also be used to assess the performance of your staff and predict trends for smarter budgeting and purchasing purposes. In addition to diverting food waste from landfills and converting food waste into a resource, the machine is now poised for significant growth in this emerging data-driven zero waste initiative climate because it identifies waste in order to prevent the creation of it all together. Already implemented in many applications across the globe, the Eco-Safe Digester is ideal for use in any food service, hospitality, healthcare, government, conference center, education center, or stadium that generates a high volume of waste.
BiOptix Diagnostics is a privately held firm based in Boulder, Colorado, with leading investments from Boulder Ventures, Remeditex and Rusnano. BiOptix has developed a new class of analytical biosensor instrumentation utilizing a patented high-throughput label-free technology known as ESPR – Enhanced Surface Plasmon Resonance. BiOptix instrumentation allows researchers to study label-free protein-protein and protein-small molecule interaction—with high sensitivity and high throughput. Applications include: Protein-small molecule interactions, protein-protein kinetics, antibody affinities and epitope mapping, oligosaccharide characterization, nucleic acid (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA) hybridization and biomolecule concentration measurements.
