Pathogen Detection Systems, Inc. is a Thunder Bay, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Revance Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing neuromodulators for use in treating aesthetic and underserved therapeutic conditions, including muscle movement disorders and pain. The company`s lead drug candidate, DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (RT002), is currently in development for the treatment of glabellar lines, cervical dystonia and plantar fasciitis with the potential to be the first long-acting neuromodulator. Revance has developed a proprietary, stabilizing excipient peptide technology designed to create novel, differentiated therapies. The company has a comprehensive pipeline based upon its peptide technology, including injectable and topical formulations of daxibotulinumtoxinA.
Sana Biotechnology is focused on utilizing engineered cells as medicines for patients. The ability to modify genes and use cells as medicines will be one of the most important advances in healthcare over the next several decades. Sana is building differentiated capabilities across the spectrum of cell and gene therapy. Three aspirations drive Sana as we look to discover treatments for patients with poor outcomes or currently untreatable diseases. The first is the ability to repair and control the genes in any cell in the body. We are advancing novel delivery technologies with the goal of being able to deliver any payload to any cell in a specific, predictable, and repeatable manner, paving the way for next-generation in vivo gene therapy. Next is the ability to differentiate pluripotent stem cells ex vivo into immune-cloaked functional cells with the aspiration of being able to replace any missing or damaged cells in the body. Last is a belief we can enable broader access to our therapies through focusing on scalable manufacturing solutions, the cost of manufacturing, and aligning with key stakeholders. Sana launched in early 2019 and has approximately two hundred employees in Seattle, Cambridge, and South San Francisco. In 2019, we raised capital to enable our broad vision, began to acquire technology and establish an IP estate across cell and gene therapy, and made significant progress validating our cell and gene therapy platforms. Growing from this foundation, we intend to push forward our platforms and product pipeline in 2020 and beyond.
Dyadic uses its proprietary C1 platform technology to discover and develop novel genes and other biological products from eukaryotic organisms found in the full spectrum of the earth’s biodiversity. Once useful genes are isolated, Dyadic uses its integrated platform to manufacture specific proteins, doing so more rapidly and efficiently — and with a much higher rate of success than existing gene discovery systems. Dyadic leverages its proprietary technology platform to discover novel genes and biological products for use by its strategic partners, and to further its own R&D efforts. Dyadic seeks strategic alliances with major leaders in the agricultural, bioenergy, industrial enzyme, chemical and biopharmaceutical industries that have in-house genomic capabilities. Dyadic will also collaborate with companies whose genomic capabilities are limited, discovering and expressing biological materials for these strategic partners. In addition, Dyadic, using these proprietary systems, will continue to commercialize enzymes for use in targeted markets, including the animal nutrition, detergent, ethanol, pulp and paper, biopharmaceutical, starch and textile industries. Dyadic expects to generate revenue from its product sales, revenue generated from research and development services and funding as well as revenue generated from licensing and other strategic collaborations in the form of milestone and royalty payments.
Compass Therapeutics is an antibody discovery and development company focused on comprehensively drugging the tumor-immune synapse with combinations of human monoclonal antibodies, multiclonals, and engineered protein constructs. Compass is industrializing antibody discovery and decentralizing biologic validation through a partnership-first mentality that leverages best-in-class technologies and top-tier academic laboratories around the world. Novel scientific insights are validated and explored deeply inside our labs before Compass pursues the best proprietary combinations of therapeutics into human clinical trials.
