Lexaria Bioscience Corp. has developed and out-licenses its proprietary technology for improved taste, rapidity, and delivery of bioactive compounds. Lexaria has multiple patents pending and granted in over 40 countries around the world and was granted its first patent in the USA in October, 2016. Lexaria`s technology provides increases of up to 10x in intestinal absorption rates; more rapid delivery to the bloodstream with effects often within 15-20 minutes; and important taste-masking benefits, for orally administered bioactive molecules including but not limited to cannabinoids, vitamins, NSAIDs, and nicotine.
Founded in 2014, Glyscend is dedicated to the development of a truly revolutionary approach to treating type 2 diabetes. The company began with the insight that bariatric surgery can lead to the immediate remission of the disease, and has since been engaged in the development of a non-invasive approach which will act on the same mechanism as surgery but fit within the current care pathway.
Symic is developing a new category of therapeutics that offer an exciting and biologically innovative approach to treating disease. While it is clear that cells play an important role in tissue inflammation and regeneration, it is also known that the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an equally critical role in maintaining healthy tissue. The ECM is the non-cellular component of the body’s tissues, and proteoglycans are important structural and functional macromolecules native to the ECM that are known to protect against tissue degradation and promote healing during illness or injury. Recognizing the importance of proteoglycans in many acute and chronic disease states, Symic developed a library of proprietary, ECM-specific compounds that mimic the protective effect of natural proteoglycans. For controlled injuries (e.g. incisions, balloon angioplasty), Symic’s ECM-specific compounds allow for local application, enhancing their ability to attenuate inflammation and reduce scarring only at the site of injury. In disease states known for chronic inflammation involving the ECM (e.g. cartilage in osteoarthritis), Symic’s technology can disrupt the cycle of degradation-inflammation by directly targeting and protecting the injured ECM. The ECM plays a critical role in many acute and chronic disease states, many of which have limited or no effective therapeutic options. Symic plans to advance its compounds in a variety of therapeutic areas with unmet clinical needs.
At Prevail Therapeutics, we are pioneering innovative therapies that aim to cure neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson`s disease. Our mission is to translate breakthrough advances in human genetics and gene therapy technology into life-changing medicines that slow, stop and reverse the neurodegenerative process. Our novel gene therapies target patients with urgent unmet needs, where there are currently no available therapies to change the progressive course of their diseases. Prevail was formed in 2017, and as an emerging biotechnology company, we are growing rapidly. We are building a team of dedicated, creative and talented individuals who share our passion for serving patients with neurodegenerative diseases. We pride ourselves on following great science, and we value collaboration, integrity and agility. We are based in the Alexandria Center for Life Science in New York City.
