Applied Molecular Therapeutics (AMT), a public biopharmaceutical company based in South San Francisco, California, is committed to developing novel, oral biological therapeutics to treat severe autoimmune, metabolic and inflammatory diseases. AMT is leveraging its propriety technology platforms to create gastrointestinal (GI)-select therapeutics that harness naturally occurring transport and targeting mechanisms to cross the protective barrier of the intestinal epithelium (IE). Once across the IE, the therapeutics gain privileged access to the immune cell-rich environment of the GI tissue as well as the hepatic portal system and downstream systemic circulation. With this privileged access, AMT`s goal is to develop transformative new oral therapeutic treatment options that offer patients greater efficacy and tolerability than available with today`s therapeutics. AMT has a robust pipeline of oral biologic product opportunities, including AMT-101 which is currently in Phase 1b clinical development for the treatment of adults with ulcerative colitis (UC). AMT-101 is a novel, gut-selective, investigational oral biologic fusion protein of interleukin 10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Derived from AMT`s proprietary platforms, AMT-101 is engineered to cross the selective barrier of the IE and enhance localized IL-10 directly within the immune-cell rich environment of GI tissue where up to 75 percent of immune cells reside. This direct targeting of the immune system creates the potential for AMT-101 to address, at its point of origin, the immune dysregulation that gives rise to UC and other inflammatory bowel diseases, and restore immune homeostasis with minimal systemic exposure and potentially fewer adverse events compared to systemic administration of IL-10. AMT has amassed a broad global IP portfolio surrounding its multiple technology platforms and therapeutic programs.
Alucent Biomedical, Inc. is a privately held biotechnology company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and is the first company to bring a novel, locally delivered biotechnology treatment to a market traditionally dominated by medical device solutions. Alucent was founded by Avera Health to develop and market Natural Vascular Scaffolding (NVS). NVS is a first-of-a-kind combination drug-device therapy designed to assist the body in naturally opening and maintaining arterial patency.

Botanix Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company listed on the ASX (ASX: BOT) with headquarters in Perth, Australia, and Philadelphia, USA. The company specializes in clinical-stage dermatology and antimicrobial treatments, focusing on synthetic cannabinoid-based therapies that utilize cannabidiol (CBD) and its proprietary skin-delivery technology, Permetrex™. The companys product pipeline includes several innovative therapies aimed at addressing common dermatological conditions. These include BTX 1503 for moderate-to-severe acne, BTX 1702 for rosacea, and BTX 1204A for moderate atopic dermatitis. Additionally, BTX 1801 targets infections in hemodialysis patients and other antimicrobial applications. All products leverage the Permetrex™ delivery system to enhance skin absorption, and Botanix is also exploring veterinary applications for atopic dermatitis. Botanix aims to improve patient outcomes by addressing unmet needs in dermatology and antimicrobial resistance, positioning itself as a leader in cannabinoid-based dermatological treatments.
