ONI is a pioneer of next generation super-resolution microscopy, making this advanced technology accessible to new generations of researchers. The Nanoimager, the world`s first benchtop sized super-resolution microscope, delivers a step change in usability and precision. The microscope offers easy access to a range of super-resolution techniques including dSTORM and PALM, as well as smFRET, single-particle tracking and confocal. The company`s achievements have been recognised by FastTrack100 who named ONI on their 2018 list of 10 Disruptors to Watch and ONI won Best Business Start-up at the 2018 IOP Awards. More and more life science researchers and pharma companies are taking an interest in ONI and it now has customers using its products in leading laboratories across the globe, including the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard. ONI has a restless enthusiasm to make the world a better place. Our ambition is to bring super-resolution fluorescence imaging to a new community of researchers and we are removing barriers to make science more effective, accessible and affordable. We have a vision for making high tech science available to anyone, anywhere, from the research bench to your doctor`s office.
Allogene Therapeutics is a biotechnology company with a mission to catalyze the next revolution in cancer treatment through the development of allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy directed at blood cancers and solid tumors. Founded and led by former Kite Pharma executives who bring unrivaled clinical development acumen in cell therapy, Allogene is well-positioned to further the potential of allogeneic cell therapy for patients. Allogeneic CAR T therapies are engineered from cells of healthy donors and stored for “off-the-shelf” use in patients. This approach eliminates the need to create personalized therapy from a patient`s own cells, simplifies manufacturing, and reduces the time patients must wait for CAR T treatment. The Allogene portfolio includes 16 pre-clinical T cell therapy assets and UCART19, an allogeneic CAR T therapy currently in Phase 1 development for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Through its notable partnerships, Allogene leverages pioneering technology platforms, including TALEN® gene editing technology, to progress its portfolio of immuno-oncology therapies. Allogene, with headquarters in San Francisco, California, is a Two River portfolio company formed with one of the largest Series A financings in biotechnology from an investment consortium that includes TPG, Vida Ventures, BellCo Capital, the University of California Office of the Chief Investment Officer and Pfizer, among others.
GeneDx is focused on delivering personalized, actionable insights that improve health outcomes. We sit at the intersection of diagnostics and data science, pairing decades of genomic expertise with an unmatched ability to interpret clinical data at scale. Our exome and genome testing is among the best in the industry. We expect that it will be even more advanced in the future with the help of Centrellis®, our innovative health information platform. Powered by millions of medical records, Centrellis® integrates digital tools with artificial intelligence to ingest and synthesize clinical and genomic data. As a result of our robust test menu, including our exome and genome testing, and the comprehensive insights generated by Centrellis®, we are developing a more complete understanding of complex disease than ever before. This translates to faster diagnosis, more effective treatment plans, and enhanced drug discovery. Our offerings help a whole spectrum of healthcare partners -- clinicians, researchers, health systems, pharmaceutical companies, and payors -- improve patient experiences and advance population health.
Effector Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on pioneering the discovery and development of a new class of oncology drugs known as selective translation regulators (STRs). Translation is the process in cells whereby information in genetic sequences is used to direct synthesis of proteins. Each of eFFECTOR’s product candidates is designed to act on a single protein that regulates, in a coordinated manner, the expression of multiple functionally related proteins that together drive important biological processes such as immune evasion, stress and inflammatory responses. In cancer, the tightly controlled translation of specific proteins becomes dysregulated, leading to malignancy characterized by uncontrolled growth, immune evasion and metastases. eFFECTOR believes that its therapeutic approach can restore the translational control of processes which tumors have hijacked for their benefit, while preserving normal cell function.
