We are dedicated to developing and commercializing effective and broadly applicable interventions for food allergy. Food allergy is a disease of the immune system that is triggered by an exceptionally broad range of commonly allergenic foods such as cow’s milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish and even sesame. In a perfect world, the human immune system would adapt to all foods. However, in tens of millions of people, the immune system wrongly recognizes some food proteins as harmful and does not adapt. We envision a world where, with help from oral immunotherapy, the immune system can adapt to nearly all food allergens. And we built our inspiration into our name—Alladapt. Alladapt was co-founded in 2018 in Palo Alto, California, by allergist and protein biochemist Kari Nadeau, MD, PhD, and biotechnology entrepreneur, Ashley Dombkowski, PhD. Academic clinical research conducted by Dr. Nadeau has demonstrated that a food allergic immune system in an individual person can be receptive to remodeling by gradually increasing exposure, under tightly controlled clinical supervision, to the proteins that activate the inappropriate cascade of reactions. This work, combined with research illuminating disease mechanisms and pathways, led the founders to envision a biopharmaceutical intervention capable of addressing food allergy provoked by a wide-ranging set of antigens. Food allergy is a serious disease, with potentially life-threatening consequences. The disease has grown dramatically in recent years and now affects more than 6 million children¹ and 26 million adults² in the United States alone. Importantly, about half of people with food allergy are reactive to multiple foods, which further increases the risk of anaphylaxis due to accidental ingestion. The chronic, unpredictable components of this disease can elevate anxiety in patients and their families, and place extreme limitations on their lives. It is our goal to help patients experience more of life’s magical moments with less fear and greater confidence.
Aldevron provides contract manufacturing and scientific services. We specialize in plasmid DNA, protein production, and antibody generation. PLASMID DNA PRODUCTION With the successful completion of over 50,000 projects, we have developed unsurpassed expertise in plasmid manufacturing. Using proprietary technology, Aldevron manufactures DNA for a wide range of research, preclinical, clinical, and diagnostic applications (1 mg to 100 g). PROTEIN PRODUCTION Aldevron offers a wide range of protein services including host cell optimization, expression screening, process development, contract production, enzyme and antibody assay design, and more. Proteins produced by Aldevron are used for a wide range of agriculture and biomedical applications from research grade to full cGMP. ANTIBODY GENERATION GENOVAC Antibody Technology supports all project types from reagent antibodies to diagnostic and therapeutic applications with high success rates. Based on many years of experience, our immunization technology has been developed to cater for all protein targets where other methods have failed (including e.g. GPCRs). Our custom antibodies have been validated in over 130 publications and patents for more than 500 clients worldwide. Additional services include antibody processing, production, labeling, characterization and sequencing.
Viridian Therapeutics is a biotechnology company advancing new treatments for patients suffering from serious diseases but underserved by todays therapies.
Connect Biopharma (Nasdaq: CNTB) is a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases through the development of therapies derived from T cell-driven research. With operations and expertise in China, the United States and Australia and clinical development activities in those geographies as well as Europe, Connect Biopharma is building a rich pipeline of internally designed, wholly owned small molecules and antibodies targeting several aspects of T cell biology. Our core expertise is in the use of functional cellular assays with T cells to screen and discover potent drug candidates against immune targets. Our two most advanced clinical-stage programs include highly differentiated product candidates against validated targets.
Scribe is focused on the engineering, delivery, and development of next-generation CRISPR molecules to rewrite and repair the underlying cause of genetic disorders.
