insitro is a data-driven drug discovery and development company that leverages machine learning and high-throughput biology to transform the way medicines are created to help patients. At insitro, we are rethinking the entire drug discovery process, from the perspective of machine learning, human genetics, and high-throughput, quantitative biology. Over the past five decades, we have seen the development of new medicines becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive, leaving many patients with significant unmet need. We`re embarking on a new approach to drug development – one that leverages machine learning and unique in vitro strategies for modeling disease state and designing new therapeutic interventions. We aim to eliminate key bottlenecks in traditional drug discovery, so we can help more people sooner and at a much lower cost to the patient and the healthcare industry. We believe that by harnessing the power of technology to interrogate and measure human biology, we can have a major impact on many diseases. We invest heavily in cutting edge bioengineering technologies to enable the construction of large-scale, high-quality data sets that are designed specifically to drive machine learning methods. Our first application is to use human genetics, functional genomics, and machine learning to build a new generation of in vitro human cell-derived disease models whose response to perturbation is designed to be predictive of human clinical outcomes.
Clade Therapeutics is a well-funded cell therapy company developing novel cell-based medicines for the treatment of cancer and other devastating diseases. The company, located in the heart of Cambridge was recently launched by an exceptional group of academic leaders and successful bioentrepreneurs converging stem cell biology, immunology, regenerative medicine, and gene editing into the next-generation of stem cell-derived medicines.
San Diego-based Biocept, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOC) develops and performs diagnostic assays that provide clinically actionable information to improve outcomes for patients with a variety of cancers. Biocept`s unique combination of cell-based and cell-free DNA analysis allows us to rapidly detect and monitor certain cancer biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Our patented Target Selector™ technology quantitatively analyzes tumor cells for tumor-associated biomarkers, offering high sensitivity and specificity compared with methods currently used by other laboratories. In addition to our broad portfolio of blood-based liquid biopsy tests, we offer the CNSide™ CSF assay, which addresses an unmet clinical need for patients with cancer that has metastasized to the central nervous system. Between 10% and 30% of patients with cancer will develop brain or spinal cord metastasis. Survival is often low, and few are diagnosed early enough for effective therapeutic intervention. CNSide answers three key questions: Is there a tumor? Is there a target for treatment? Is there a trend in treatment response? We offer diagnostic laboratory services for oncologists, pathologists, hospitals, cancer centers, universities, pharmaceutical and clinical researchers, and other healthcare providers. Our CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory combines a highly trained professional staff with innovative instrumentation for optimal test results and quality control. Biocept works with strategic industry leaders, as well as major cancer centers across the U.S., to further its mission of helping to improve outcomes for cancer patients. We also are utilizing our molecular diagnostic capabilities to offer nationwide RT-PCR-based COVID-19 testing and services to support public health efforts. Revenue from COVID-19 testing has supported further investment in our core oncology business, positioning the company for long-term success.
Foundation Medicine is a molecular information company dedicated to a transformation in cancer care in which treatment is informed by a deep understanding of the genomic changes that contribute to each patient`s unique cancer. The company`s clinical assays, FoundationOne for solid tumors and FoundationOne Heme for hematologic malignancies and sarcomas, provide a comprehensive genomic profile to identify the molecular alterations in a patient`s cancer and match them with relevant targeted therapies and clinical trials. Foundation Medicine`s molecular information platform aims to improve day-to-day care for patients by serving the needs of clinicians, academic researchers and drug developers to help advance the science of molecular medicine in cancer.
Eterna Therapeutics is developing breakthrough mRNA cell engineering technologies to repair cellular dysfunction and treat a range of therapeutic indications. We and our strategic partners are advancing innovative nucleic acid and cell therapies that offer the hope of radically improving the health outcomes of patients with high unmet medical needs. We are committed to creating a world in which patients and their families have access to effective, life-changing treatments for serious illnesses.
