Yumanity Therapeutics is transforming drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases caused by protein misfolding. Despite the fact that an estimated 50 million people worldwide suffer from diseases affecting the brain and central nervous system, there are no approved disease-modifying therapies or cures. Yumanity is working to identify and develop new, disease-modifying therapies that address several illnesses with critical unmet medical needs, including Alzheimer`s disease, Parkinson`s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The company`s approach concentrates on correcting the cellular pathologies driven by misfolded proteins, the altered biology or phenotypes driving these diseases. Yumanity Therapeutics was founded in December 2014 by Susan Lindquist, Ph.D., award-winning protein folding expert, and Tony Coles, M.D., a renowned biotech industry leader. The company`s proprietary platforms have already identified one potential new target for treating Parkinson`s disease, and Yumanity is actively advancing its new chemical lead series for this condition, as well as identifying additional compounds for Alzheimer`s disease and ALS. Targeting the underlying protein pathology of neurodegenerative diseases allows the company to discover therapies that may modify the root cause of these rather than only addressing their symptoms.
MBio Diagnostics is now LightDeck Diagnostics! LightDeck Diagnostics believes in a new approach to healthcare, where fast, accurate, simple, low-cost diagnostic tests will be run wherever and whenever they are needed, without compromise. The company`s proprietary LightDeck® platform combines an advanced laser waveguide with novel materials and patented manufacturing techniques to deliver lab-quality results anywhere, in minutes. LightDeck is introducing a portfolio of in vitro diagnostic panels, the first is an on-the-spot test for COVID-19. The LightDeck platform is currently commercialized in veterinary diagnostics and for environmental testing. Learn more at www.LightDeckDx.com Platform Technology The LightDeck platform consists of a robust, portable fluorescence analyzer and disposable, multiplex test cartridges. The LightDeck® platform was designed to meet customer requirements: • Quality: Highly sensitive tests that deliver lab-quality results • Quick: Actionable data in as little as 5 minutes with a simple procedure • Quantitative: More data to inform treatment decisions • Multiplex: Multiple related tests for better precision plus internal quality control to maximize safety The test procedure is simple enough that an untrained user can perform testing almost anywhere. Panels can be configured to run multiple related tests simultaneously to help diagnosis or rule-out a specific condition. Internal quality control runs with every test to ensure quality and not report questionable results.
Juno Therapeutics is building a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on revolutionizing medicine by re-engaging the body`s immune system to treat cancer. Founded on the vision that the use of human cells as therapeutic entities will drive one of the next important phases in medicine, Juno is developing cell-based cancer immunotherapies based on chimeric antigen receptor and high-affinity T cell receptor technologies to genetically engineer T cells to recognize and kill cancer. Juno is developing multiple cell-based product candidates to treat a variety of B-cell malignancies as well as solid tumors. Several product candidates have shown compelling evidence of tumor shrinkage in clinical trials in refractory leukemia and lymphoma conducted to date. Juno`s long-term aim is to leverage its cell-based platform to develop new product candidates that address a broader range of cancers and human diseases. Juno brings together innovative technologies from some of the world`s leading research institutions, including the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Seattle Children`s Research Institute, and The National Cancer Institute. Juno Therapeutics has an exclusive license to the St. Jude Children`s Research Hospital patented technology for CD19 directed product candidates that use 4-1BB, which was developed by Dario Campana, Chihaya Imai, and St. Jude Children`s Research Hospital.
