CEL-SCI is dedicated to research and development directed at improving the treatment of cancer and other diseases by utilizing the immune system, the body`s natural defense system.
Xcell Bio is a San Francisco-based life science company dedicated to bringing an innovative primary cell control solution to the immunotherapy market to support research, drug discovery, and cell manufacturing. Xcell`s mission is to democratize maintenance, expansion and control of any primary cell type through its bench-top primary cell control systems, reagent kits, software, and standardized protocols. The technology delivers simple control of primary cell types from blood or solid tissue, including a range of immune cells, stem cells, and tumor cells. This patient-centric technology offers a unique and proprietary capability to improve immunotherapy efficacy, safety, and persistence through more predictive and iterative therapy development and rapid, highly-controlled clinical cell manufacturing.
Artiva Biotherapeutics is a private biotech company advancing a pipeline of off-the-shelf, allogeneic NK cell therapies, for the treatment of hematologic cancers or solid tumors. Artiva Biotherapeutics was founded on the understanding that NK cells hold enormous therapeutic potential as cancer therapies and the dedication and expertise to overcome technological barriers in the scaling and manufacturing of these cells. At Artiva, our mission is to deliver highly effective cell therapies that are also safe and immediately available and accessible to any cancer patient who stands to benefit. Artiva`s platform delivers scalability, quality, and cryopreservation to support a pipeline of safe, effective, versatile, and accessible product candidates.
Aura Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing virus-like drug conjugates (VDC), a novel class of therapies, for the treatment of multiple oncology indications. At Aura, our mission is to deliver meaningful therapeutic benefit to a range of cancer indications with high unmet need in which we believe we can establish a new standard of care. We are driven by our passion and commitment to science and the patients battling cancer who are relying on us to pioneer these new therapies. We are focusing the initial development of our VDC technology platform to treat tumors of high unmet need in ocular and urologic oncology. Belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar), our first VDC candidate, is being developed for the first-line treatment of early-stage choroidal melanoma, a rare disease with no drugs approved. Beyond early-stage choroidal melanoma, we are developing bel-sar in additional ocular oncology indications, including choroidal metastasis. Leveraging our VDCs` broad tumor targeting capabilities, we have also initiated a clinical program in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, or NMIBC, our first non-ocular solid tumor indication.
We cultivate authentic materials without compromise,by harnessing science and nature responsibly by partnering the most innovative minds in science and technology with the finest craftspeople to accelerate the use of cellular agriculture for good.
