Boundless Bio, a San Diego based company backed by ARCH Venture Partners, is discovering and developing novel cancer therapeutics based on the role of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in driving tumorigenesis, resistance and recurrence. When DNA in cancer cells comes off chromosomes, “extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA),” it becomes unbound and unwound, thereby enabling numerous copies of cancer-causing genes, driving cancer cells to grow and allowing them to resist treatment. At Boundless Bio, we are counterattacking this ecDNA phenomenon with boundless innovation and boundless energy to develop powerful new cancer medicines that eliminate cancer cells’ ability to employ ecDNA to survive.

Asklepios BioPharmaceutical, Inc. (AskBio) is a leading clinical-stage adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy company dedicated to improving the lives of patients with rare diseases and other genetic disorders.
VBL Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VBLT) is Phase 3 clinical biotechnology company using the machinery of the body to precisely address disease progression. The company has utilized its proprietary gene targeting and antibody platforms to create a pipeline of exquisite solutions for people with difficult to treat cancers and chronic inflammatory diseases. Our lead oncology candidate is Ofravec (VB-111), a first-in-class, targeted anti-cancer gene-therapy agent with a dual mechanism in development to target solid tumors. Ofravec is currently being studied in the OVAL international Phase 3 registration-enabling clinical trial to treat people with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Founded in 2000, VBL is based in Modiin, Israel and has recently opened operations in New York.
Alltrna is the first transfer RNA (tRNA) platform company, and our mission is to unlock tRNA biology and pioneer tRNA therapeutics to regulate the protein universe and resolve disease. Founded at Flagship Labs in 2018, Alltrna has mapped tRNA biology to systematically design tRNA medicines and encode a completely new, unifying approach to treating both rare and common human diseases driven by shared genetic mutations. Alltrna`s platform combines internal expertise and proprietary machine learning tools to unlock the entire tRNA biology space. We have an unprecedented opportunity to advance a single tRNA medicine to restore disrupted protein production, regardless of target, for thousands of diseases with the same underlying genetic mutation.
