Elicio is committed to transforming the lives of patients and their families by re-engineering the body`s immune response to cancer. By combining expertise in materials science and immunology, Elicio is engineering potent vaccines and immuno-therapies for an array of aggressive cancers. The Elicio Amphiphile platform enables precise targeting and delivery of immunogens directly to the lymphatic system, the “brain center” of the immune response, to significantly amplify and enhance the body`s own system of defenses, to defeat cancer and stop its recurrence. This substantially enhanced anti-tumor functionality and long-term protective memory could unlock the full potential of the human immune response to eliminate cancer. Elicio`s lead Amphiphile vaccines targeting pancreatic, colorectal, and head and neck cancer will begin initial patient studies in early 2020. Elicio was founded to expand and apply the ground-breaking Amphiphile technology invented and developed in the labs of Darrell Irvine Ph.D., Professor of Biological Engineering and Materials Sciences and Howard Hughes Investigator, at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Elicio`s Amphiphile vaccines target and concentrate in the lymph nodes resulting in unprecedented tumor-specific immune responses and durable cures of aggressive tumor models in mice.
Modern Meadow was founded on the belief that customers should not have to choose between performance and sustainability. Additionally, we believe that people should not have to choose between a career that helps them achieve their personal goals and a career with purpose. Achieving both personal and professional goals with purpose is possible at Modern Meadow, and we invite qualified professionals to apply for positions of interest. At the intersection of biotechnology and material science, Modern Meadow designs materials solutions for the way we want the world to perform. We are pioneers of biofabrication, building with biology. This enbables us to harness unique properties of proteins to move the world away from petrochemical and animal-derived inputs, leading a shift to the bioeconomy. Modern Meadow Biofabricated Materials offer the world a new way forward. By introducing a more effective, more responsible, and readily available supply, we are shifting demand away from extractive practices and toward a sustainable bioeconomy. Our team is engaged in exciting work to enable us all to move beyond sustainability to real world impact. Our philosophy and sustainability principles help us stay focused on the most critical environmental issues and challenge us to design our products and systems in the most sustainable manner. But we cannot build a bioeconomy alone. We are partnering with companies, developing bio-based supply chains, and speaking with businesses looking to design for sustainability from the start. Together we can create new coalitions to build out the environmentally conscious alternatives our planet desperately needs.
NanoString Technologies (NASDAQ: NSTG) is a publicly held provider of life science tools for translational research. The company`s technology enables a wide variety of basic research and translational medicine applications. NanoString`s products are based on a novel digital molecular barcoding technology invented at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in Seattle under direction of Dr. Leroy Hood. The company was founded in 2003 with an exclusive license to develop and market the technology. In 2008, NanoString launched its first commercial instrument system and began international sales operations with its first multiplexed assays for gene expression analysis. In 2010, the company launched new applications for the system to support microRNA analysis and copy number variation detection. In 2019, the company launched the GeoMx™ Digital Spatial Profiler enabling highly-multiplexed spatial profiling of RNA and protein targets in a variety of sample types, including FFPE tissue sections.
