PvP Biologics

PvP Biologics is developing an oral enzyme for the treatment of celiac disease. Our mission is to develop a highly-effective therapeutic product to reduce the burden of living with this disease. Towards this end, we are advancing a product candidate designed to break down the immuno-reactive parts of gluten in the stomach and thereby avoid the painful symptoms and damage done in the small intestine from accidental gluten ingestion. Affecting an estimated 2.4 million Americans, celiac disease is significantly more common than inflammatory bowel disease and is associated with acute gastrointestinal symptoms, malnutrition, and increased mortality. The disease is currently treated by a gluten-free diet, which is costly and challenging to maintain strict compliance. Many patients continue to report persistent symptoms despite adhering to a gluten-free diet. The technology was invented at the Institute for Protein Design at University of Washington and exclusively in-licensed by PvP Biologics. We have corporate offices in San Diego and research laboratories in Seattle.

Commissioning Agents, Incorporated

Fundamentally we exist for one reason: To be the trusted solution for our clients as they strive to build a better working world and improve the human experience. We are 550+ global experts that bring top-tier expertise to every stage of a project, from creating comprehensive, detailed project plans to eliminating that last punch list item and beyond, into rigorous asset management, reliability, and sustainability activities. We are your choice regardless of your location. We can support you in the US, Singapore, China, Australia, Europe, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam and beyond. Philosophically and practically, we believe that quality, cost, and schedule can be mutually reinforcing – trade-offs are not necessary. Short-changing the focus on quality usually means problems down the road – problems that can cost money and delay the schedule. But if quality is built in from the start, then both project delivery and operational efficiency can be achieved with a much higher degree of assurance. When your project requires planned, managed, and documented high quality to exacting global standards. When you need high-performance teams on mission-critical projects. When your project is complex, high-visibility, and carries significant risk. We can help you meet a higher standard.
