Recent winner of the Green Chemistry award, Vestaron is leading a peptide-based revolution in crop protection. We are committed to providing growers with novel, effective chemistries that address proven targets. Our peptides overcome existing resistance issues while offering a desired safety profile for workers, beneficials and the environment. Initially, Vestaron is focused on a class of peptides that kills insect pests efficiently, but is safe for humans, birds, fish, pollinators and the environment. As part of this, the company has developed a proprietary platform for peptide optimization and fermentation-based peptide production that will allow development of a wide variety of biologic crop protection solutions. Vestaron is proud to bring you the Power of Peptides through the SPEAR® brand family - providing new technology with a unique mode of action in a biological solution equal to, and often better, than the synthetic options; creating the opportunity to incorporate a new IRAC Group 32 into rotation recommendations for resistance management.
SignalChem Lifesciences Corporation is a privately owned biopharmaceutical company specializing in the discovery and development of kinase inhibitors as innovative therapies for cancer, inflammation and neurological diseases. The Company has a robust kinase platform encompassing 450 kinase targets and assays for the development and commercialization of unique therapies in many diseases. This vast resource empowers SLC’s scientists to identify novel drug candidates against kinase targets of interest. Another key part of SLC’s kinase drug development platform is KineCore, a kinase focused small molecule library that was designed and assembled in-house.
STAT PHARMACEUTICALS is a Santee, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Prosetta Biosciences, Inc. is an 11-year old biotechnology company developing novel small-molecule antiviral therapeutics based on over 25 years of basic research on the Cell-Free Protein Synthesizing Systems (CFPSS) by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco and the University of Washington, Seattle. The incorporation of the CFPSS in our drug discovery platform, has lead to the identification of small molecules which disrupt or alter the key protein-protein interactions involved with the assembly of viral capsids (the protein shell that protects the DNA or RNA genome of a virus). Prosetta has successfully produced highly potent compounds which display activity against multiple strains of many viral families including lead series of molecules that are effective antiviral agents against Influenza, HIV and HCV.
Q-Chuck Technologies Inc. is a Edmonton, AB-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
