Intellia Therapeutics

Intellia Therapeutics is a leading genome editing company whose mission is to develop potentially curative gene editing treatments that can positively transform the lives of people living with severe and life-threatening diseases. We are focused on the development of proprietary therapeutics using a recently developed biological tool known as the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The promise of the CRISPR/Cas9 system is the driving force behind the creation of Intellia. Our founders have a shared belief that the CRISPR/Cas9 technology has the potential to transform medicine by permanently editing disease-associated genes in the human body with a single treatment course. This technology offers the potential for us to develop curative therapeutic options for patients with chronic diseases by addressing the underlying cause of the disease. It can bring new hope and cures to people who now have nowhere to turn for help. Our combination of deep scientific expertise and clinical development experience, along with our leading intellectual property portfolio, puts Intellia in a unique position to unlock broad therapeutic applications of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology and create a new class of therapeutic products. Intellia has the right people, assets and ambitious vision needed to take full advantage of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology`s attributes – high potency, specificity, simplicity of use, broad applicability, and multifunctional programmability – and accelerate the advancement of curative products into the clinic.

Lycera

Lycera is a biopharmaceutical company that seeks to uncover new small molecule therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. Our approach builds on an in-depth understanding of the orchestration of immune response in disease progression. When working correctly, the immune system can respond aggressively and with precise targeting to eliminate infectious pathogens or cancer cells. Incorrect regulation can cause the immune system to attack healthy tissue as foreign, supporting onset and progression of autoimmune disease while disruption of anti-tumor immune responses can shield cancer cells from the immune system and allow them to proliferate. Lycera is rapidly building a portfolio of selective immune modulators with mechanisms we believe will translate into improved outcomes for patients. With senior leadership and a team of scientists who represent the best of their fields, Lycera has the expertise and insight necessary to develop innovative therapies able to restore immune balance and significantly improve treatment for patients affected by these diseases around the world. Lycera product development programs are enhanced by our established global relationships with many leading chemists, scientists and clinical researchers. We are currently advancing novel small molecule compounds from distinct, yet complementary, areas of research, including immune metabolism, cell signaling and immune cell differentiation.
