Exicure is developing a new class of immunomodulatory and gene silencing drugs against validated targets. Our 3-dimensional, spherical nucleic acid (SNA™) architecture unlocks the potential of nucleic acid therapeutics in multiple organs. Our lead programs address diseases from inflammatory disorders to oncology. SNA constructs overcome one of the most difficult obstacles to nucleic acid therapeutics: safe and effective delivery into cells and tissues. SNA constructs exhibit unparalleled transfection efficiency into numerous cell and tissue types including the skin without carriers or transfection agents. Moreover, SNAs can be used as potent immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or infectious disease.
Spun out of MIT in 2006, Cambrian Innovation is commercializing a portfolio of environmental solutions based on newly discovered electrically active microbes. By harnessing the power of bio-electricity and advances in electrochemistry, Cambrian Innovation`s products help industrial, agricultural, and government customers save money while recovering clean water and clean energy from wastewater streams. Our bio-electrogenic sensor platform enables low-cost, real-time monitoring of critical natural resources. At Cambrian Innovation our vision is simple: Industry is an ecosystem. Because the biological world is by definition sustainable, creative application of biological engineering is the best way to solve our most pressing environmental challenges. Cambrian Innovation`s solutions leverage advances in bio-electricity to help industrial and agricultural customers cut costs while meeting their environmental goals.
Rapid Micro Biosystems accelerates the detection of microbial contamination in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and personal care products. The company`s Growth Direct™ Platform—the first and only growth-based platform to fully automate traditional microbial testing—detects contamination more quickly, delivering compelling economic benefits while improving quality control processes. The Growth Direct platform replaces slow, error-prone, manual processes, allowing manufacturers to accelerate timelines, maximize capacity, and reduce operational risk and downtime, all while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity. Rapid Micro Biosystems is dedicated to providing groundbreaking technology and products to support biomanufacturing companies in their mission to deliver the highest possible quality products for improved patient outcomes. Rapid Micro Biosystems is headquartered and has U.S. manufacturing in Lowell, Massachusetts, and global locations in Germany and the Netherlands.
At VAYA Pharma, we are committed to improving quality of life and delivering products that exemplify our key values. VAYA Pharma`s history of clinical research is based on understanding the potential of the human body in order to reform medicine. Through this research, we have discovered a strong correlation between certain disorders and lipid imbalances in affected individuals. Because of this, VAYA Pharma focuses on developing innovations for the clinical dietary management of disorders that are specifically associated with lipid imbalances. Our products deliver a nutritional based solution that are familiar to the human body and clinically proven to be safe and effective with virtually no side effects. Using lipid-based ingredients, our innovative products address nutritional needs of people with health conditions that cannot be met through modification of diet alone.
The founders of NXT-ID were an integral part of the senior management teams at Technest Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiary Genex Technologies. Genex Technologies was founded in 1995 to develop and commercialize the unique Rainbow® method of capturing 3D data. Since its founding Genex has developed into one of the market leaders in advanced imaging, including 3D and 360-degree technologies. Genex has developed innovative technologies and products for all aspects of imaging, including capture, processing, display, and enhancement. Genex’s products range from 3D cameras to surveillance algorithms to integrated facial recognition systems. Genex and Technest have won awards from the Department of Defense, NIH, NIST and NSF amounting to over $30 million in support of this technology. NXT-ID has licensed all the Technest /Genex technology (exclusively in many markets) to provide a product portfolio and a strong technical foundation for its further development efforts. In addition, NXT-ID has also licensed patents and know-how from the shareholders of Geometrix, Inc., a leading 3D imaging company using a different technical approach to Technest. This technology performed very favorably at the Face Recognition Vendor Test conducted by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST). NXT-ID also has key scientific and engineering personnel that have had key roles in the development of these technologies and have an important intellectual knowledge base that the Company intends to leverage.
