ElevateBio is accelerating the future of biotechnology. We have a launched a revolutionary new model that integrates innovators, infrastructure and capital to effectively develop cell, gene and related therapies for patients with severe and life-threatening disorders.
Cibus is part of the multi-billion-dollar plant seed industry. Cibus leads the new era of high throughput gene editing technology that can develop plant traits precisely at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional breeding. Cibus is not a seed company. We are a technology company that uses gene editing to develop plant traits. Cibus licenses its traits to seed companies for royalties on seeds that use its traits. Cibus` target market is Productivity Traits” that improve yields, lower input costs such as chemicals and increase the sustainability and profitability of farming. We has a pipeline of six productivity traits including traits for pod shatter reduction, disease resistance and nutrient use efficiency. Cibus` focus is multi-crop traits for the major crops: canola, rice, soybean, wheat, and corn. In other words, traits that can impact global agriculture sustainability at scale. Technology: Gene editing in agriculture is a plant breeding technology. The promise of gene editing in agriculture is the ability to develop plant traits that are indistinguishable from traits developed using conventional breeding but can be developed at a fraction of the time and cost. To many, gene editing represents agriculture`s “analog to digital” technology moment. It is a technology that changes the speed and scale of trait development. Cibus is at the forefront of this technology moment. Our Rapid Trait Development System™ (RTDS®) and Trait Machine™ process represents the first end-to-end semi-automated plant breeding system. Vision: Cibus` vision is to be a pure play trait developer; a technology company whose business is to develop and license plant traits to seed companies in exchange for royalties. The licensing of plant traits and germplasm with quantifiable benefits and strong intellectual property is an integral part of the seed industry. Our goal is to be a leader in this segment of the seed industry.
CepTor Corporation is a Cockeysville, MD-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
HiFiBiO SAS commercializes proprietary single cell technologies for applications in drug and biomarker discovery and development.
Affigen was founded in 2016 by Frameshift, a firm that ideates, translates and launches life sciences companies that have the potential to fundamentally shift the metabolic rate of the industry. In February 2017, Affigen completed its Series A funding, led by Black Beret Life Sciences on behalf of its affiliate BBLS Immunotherapy, LLC. Black Beret Life Sciences is the life sciences investment management arm of the Houston-based Bosarge Family Office. The firm was established in 2014 by Dr. Ed Bosarge to organize and manage investments in potentially game-changing technologies and companies in areas related to regenerative medicine, anti-aging and immunotherapy. Black Beret Life Sciences’ portfolio of managed investments includes companies and research across an array of disease areas, including diabetes, neurodegeneration, osteoarthritis, cancer immunotherapy and various conditions related to aging.
