Evolve BioSystems is a spin-out from the Foods For Health Institute (FFHI) at the University of California, Davis. The company builds on more than a decade of research into the infant gut microbiome and its unique interaction with breast milk components, established by the founding scientists including Bruce German, David Mills, Carlito Lebrilla, Daniela Barile and Samara Freeman. Their fundamental research and translational clinical trials have been enabled by more than $15 million in federal and private grants since 2004. Under the leadership of CEO Dr. David Kyle, Evolve completed a $1 million seed funding round in mid-2014, a $9 million Series A round in August 2015 and most recently a $20 million Series B capital raise in 2017. Evolve has now successfully completed a milestone proof-of-concept study to demonstrate the efficacy of its initial proprietary offering, with a series of upcoming trials scheduled across both human and animal health applications. With a strong portfolio of intellectual property developed at UC Davis, a world-class management team plus blue-chip investors, and an unwavering dedication to allowing science to direct our product development, Evolve continues to expand it`s pipeline of next generation microbiome-based solutions to establish, restore, and maintain a healthy gut microbiome.

By leveraging the complementary attributes of its two innovative vaccine delivery platforms, RespirVec™ and Densigen™, Vaxin is able to rationally design and rapidly develop immunotherapeutic products tailored to address the a wide range of disease indications including acute respiratory infections, chronic viral infections and cancer with fundamental advantages over competing products. Our mission at Vaxin is to protect and preserve public health by providing effective and safe vaccines that prevent disease outbreak.
Omicia is unlocking the potential of individualized medicine. Our mission is to help researchers and clinicians understand and apply the most relevant information from personal genome sequences, to improve disease management and medical outcomes. Researchers and clinical diagnostic organizations use our solutions to analyze and identify the genetic basis of a variety of conditions, including childhood disease, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Opal™, the leading platform for fast, accurate and flexible genome analysis, enables clinicians, researchers and bioinformaticians alike to derive clinically relevant insights from genomic data. VAAST, our robust novel disease gene finder and variant scoring algorithm, is in use at more than 300 academic and clinical institutions including the NIH, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Seattle Children’s Research Institute, Institut Pasteur, University of Maryland Institute for Genome Sciences, and UCSF.
Sera Prognostics is a leading proteomic and bioinformatics company dedicated to improving the lives of women and babies through precision biomarker-based tests designed to enhance pregnancy care. Sera’s vision is to deliver pivotal information in early pregnancy to physicians, to help them to improve the health of their patients and reduce costs of healthcare delivery. Sera’s PreTRM® Test reports to a physician the individualized risk of a pregnant woman to deliver prematurely, enabling earlier proactive interventions in patients with higher risk. Rigorous clinical validation of PreTRM® Test performance (accuracy of predicting premature delivery) was reported in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2016 in a U.S. cohort of 5,501 patients across 11 centers. Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks gestation and is a leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2020 March of Dimes Report Card shows that of nearly 4 million babies born annually in the U.S., more than one in ten is born prematurely. Prematurity is associated with a significantly increased risk of major long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual disability, seizures, vision and hearing loss, and can generate significant cost throughout the lives of affected children. The annual U.S. health care costs to manage complications of prematurity were estimated at $31.5B for 2015. Sera is also developing a robust pipeline of innovative tests focused on other complications of pregnancy. Using its advanced proprietary mass spectrometry and bioinformatics platform technologies, Sera detects biologically important protein expression differences to build high performing predictions of risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes (including preterm birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, growth restriction, and others).
