VenatoRx Pharmaceuticals is a private pharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of novel anti-infective agents to address the threat of antibiotic resistance. The company name, VenatoRx (ven-a-TOR-ex), derives from the latin word “venator”, meaning hunter and “Rx”, the medical symbol for drugs. The pursuit, or “hunt”, for new drugs is the core mission of the company. Located northwest of Philadelphia in Malvern, PA, the company was founded in 2010 by Drs. Burns, Xerri, and Pevear. Since founding, the company has received multiple awards from the NIH, including 5 Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants and an R01 grant. The company has also been awarded a contract from the NIH and funding from the Wellcome Trust to advance the company’s product candidates.

We have developed a high-sensitivity next-generation sequencing-based system for the detection of cancer mutations in miniscule concentrations of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood. Our technology addresses the significant barriers associated with harnessing the information contained in cfDNA by combining our proprietary techniques in molecular biology and computational algorithm for error suppression. With our technology, nanogram quantities of highly-fragmented cfDNA can be amplified more than 1000-fold, and a panel of tens to hundreds of cancer-related genes can be screened with a sensitivity at the single-digit molecular level.
The focus of Regen BioPharma, Inc. is to developing translational medicine platforms for the rapid commercialization of stem cell therapies and to advance intellectual property licensed from entities, institutions and universities that show promise towards fulfilling the purpose of increased quality of life. Regen BioPharma has reviewed more than 20,000 US issued patents covering stem cell related subject matter, created a shortlist of 30 promising technologies for rapid commercialization, and currently is in negotiations to license several of these. The Regen BioPharma business model is to take multiple stem cell therapeutics to and through the human "safety and signal of efficacy" stage (Phase I/II clinical trials), followed by exit. Having assembled a core infrastructure specialized in obtaining regulatory approval and executing clinical trials in cell therapy, we aim to act as a "superincubator" that within 1-2 years grows technologies from laboratory to an asset ready for spin-off or sale.
