Clinical Glycoproteomics + Artificial Intelligence
We are dedicated to developing and commercializing effective and broadly applicable interventions for food allergy. Food allergy is a disease of the immune system that is triggered by an exceptionally broad range of commonly allergenic foods such as cow’s milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish and even sesame. In a perfect world, the human immune system would adapt to all foods. However, in tens of millions of people, the immune system wrongly recognizes some food proteins as harmful and does not adapt. We envision a world where, with help from oral immunotherapy, the immune system can adapt to nearly all food allergens. And we built our inspiration into our name—Alladapt. Alladapt was co-founded in 2018 in Palo Alto, California, by allergist and protein biochemist Kari Nadeau, MD, PhD, and biotechnology entrepreneur, Ashley Dombkowski, PhD. Academic clinical research conducted by Dr. Nadeau has demonstrated that a food allergic immune system in an individual person can be receptive to remodeling by gradually increasing exposure, under tightly controlled clinical supervision, to the proteins that activate the inappropriate cascade of reactions. This work, combined with research illuminating disease mechanisms and pathways, led the founders to envision a biopharmaceutical intervention capable of addressing food allergy provoked by a wide-ranging set of antigens. Food allergy is a serious disease, with potentially life-threatening consequences. The disease has grown dramatically in recent years and now affects more than 6 million children¹ and 26 million adults² in the United States alone. Importantly, about half of people with food allergy are reactive to multiple foods, which further increases the risk of anaphylaxis due to accidental ingestion. The chronic, unpredictable components of this disease can elevate anxiety in patients and their families, and place extreme limitations on their lives. It is our goal to help patients experience more of life’s magical moments with less fear and greater confidence.
Our Mission: Change the world for patients with cardiovascular disease through bold and innovative science. MyoKardia is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a precision medicine approach to discover, develop and commercialize targeted therapies for the treatment of serious and neglected rare cardiovascular diseases. Our initial focus: treatment of heritable cardiomyopathies, a group of genetically-driven forms of heart failure that result from biomechanical defects in cardiac muscle contraction. We are a growing community of employees who enjoy working with and learning from each other. We collaborate in a way that ensures the growth of the company as well each employee individually. MyoKardia is committed to creating a culture that`s centered on our core values. We seek individuals who not only offer expertise in their respective fields, but can serve as cultural leaders and role models for our values.
Veracyte is a pioneering genomic diagnostics company. Our tests are dramatically improving clinical outcomes for patients by resolving inconclusive results from traditional diagnostic methods. We ask the right questions to resolve ambiguity and bring assurance to light, rendering tens of thousands of costly and unnecessary surgeries truly unnecessary. We are giving patients a clearer path forward. Through scientific rigor we employ the best tools, best science and best minds to create tests that enable a more accurate diagnosis without the need for risky, costly and often unnecessary surgery. Veracyte consistently brings to bear evidence that is unprecedented in genomic tests, thereby changing today`s clinical practice standards. We are making a difference in the lives of physicians and patients. We are doing something real.
