Seraxis is a privately owned biotechnology company. Our GMP lab is located in Germantown, Maryland, in the heart of the vibrant BioHealth Capital Region. Launched in early 2013, Seraxis used proprietary technologies to develop a cell replacement therapy, SR-01, that is more effective and safer than embryonic stem cell-derived therapies.
We are a biotechnology company creating a new class of targeted gene therapies for debilitating and life-threatening genetic disorders in both central nervous system (CNS) and non-CNS indications. Current gene therapy approaches have shown dramatic efficacy in several rare diseases but are hindered by imprecise targeting. The inability to selectively transduce specific cells and tissues effectively drives administration of higher doses and resulting safety liabilities. We are addressing these concerns with our proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) engineering platform that generates capsids optimized to target specific tissues and cells in the disease organ while limiting transduction of tissues and cells not relevant to the target disease. Through our next-generation AAV platform combined with cargo development and state-of-the-art manufacturing, we are tackling monogenetic and sporadic CNS and non-CNS disorders that have previously been challenging to address.
We specialize in recruiting clinical research talent and understand the hiring objectives of our Medical Device, Biotechnology, and Pharmaceutical clients.
Virobay is focused on the development and commercialization of novel drugs through the utilization of small molecule inhibitors of cysteine proteases, a diverse class of enzyme proteases, for a variety of conditions, including neuropathic pain, autoimmune diseases and fibrosis. The foundation of Virobay's proprietary cathepsin platform and the Virobay management team were spun-out from Celera Genomics, which was then a leader in cathepsin research. Virobay's clinical pipeline currently includes product candidates in neuropathic pain, dermatology, autoimmune disease and fibrosis.
