G-CON Manufacturing, Inc.`s prefabricated, turnkey cleanroom systems represent a significant transition to forward thinking in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processing. G-CON Manufacturing, the innovator of autonomous cleanroom PODs, turned the challenges experienced by the biopharmaceutical industry into readily deployable, flexible, mobile and scalable cleanroom solutions. PODs are ideal for multi-product sites, rigorous containment needs, and on demand scaling of production and laboratory space. Building on its first design in 2009, G-CON now has a wide array of cleanroom PODs in their product portfolio to accommodate the increased demand from the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and cell therapeutic industries. Moreover, G-CON`s patent portfolio continues to grow which will effectively preclude imitators from copying G-CON`s initial and more recent innovations. At G-CON, we will continue to evolve and grow with the industry to provide a comprehensive cleanroom solution that truly is flexible, scalable and fast, all for a fair and known price from the time the contract is signed.
Kezar co-founder Christopher Kirk, Ph.D. began his work on the unique function of the immunoproteasome at Proteolix in 2005, while working on the compound that would become the successful multiple myeloma drug KYPROLIS™ (carfilzomib). As VP of Research at Onyx Pharmaceuticals, which acquired Proteolix in 2009, Christopher led the efforts to develop the first selective inhibitors of the immunoproteasome and designed multiple studies demonstrating their profound immunomodulatory effects. In parallel with this work, Christopher and Kezar co-founder Jack Taunton, Ph.D. collaborated on several research projects involving protein secretion. This collaboration inspired a belief in the strong synergies between protein degradation and protein secretion, two fertile areas for drug discovery with platform potential. In 2014, Christopher and Kezar co-founder John Fowler began developing the business plan for Kezar, acting on a longstanding desire to work together and build a world-class company. In 2015, John and Christopher raised $23M and negotiated a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Amgen for the Onyx immunoproteasome inhibitor patent estate. Now underway, John and Christopher are excited to leverage their complementary skill sets to build Kezar into a leader in small molecule drug development.
