Stoke Therapeutics is pioneering a new way to treat the underlying causes of severe #geneticdiseases by precisely upregulating protein expression. We develop antisense oligonucleotide medicines that increase gene expression to treat genetic epilepsies and other severe monogenic diseases, including genetic conditions affecting the central nervous system, eye, liver and kidney. At Stoke, we believe our proprietary technology platform, Targeted Augmentation of Nuclear Gene Output, or #TANGO, will allow us to deliver disease-modifying therapies in a highly precise, durable and controlled manner. We have identified approximately 2,900 genetic diseases which we believe may be amenable to TANGO. At Stoke, we are united around a common goal: to improve the lives of people living with severe genetic diseases. Stoke is located in Bedford, MA with offices in Cambridge, MA.
Vaxcyte is a vaccine innovation company engineering high-fidelity vaccines to protect humankind from the consequences of bacterial diseases. The Company is developing broad-spectrum conjugate and novel protein vaccines to prevent or treat bacterial infectious diseases. Vaxcyte`s lead candidate, VAX-24, is a 24-valent, broad-spectrum pneumococcal conjugate vaccine being developed for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease. Vaxcyte is re-engineering the way highly complex immunizations are made through modern synthetic techniques, including advanced chemistry and the XpressCFᵀᴹ cell-free protein synthesis platform, exclusively licensed from Sutro Biopharma, Inc. Unlike conventional cell-based approaches, the Company`s system for producing difficult-to-make proteins and antigens is intended to accelerate its ability to efficiently create and deliver high-fidelity vaccines with enhanced immunological benefits. Vaxcyte`s pipeline also includes VAX-XP, a PCV with an expanded breadth of coverage of greater than 30 strains; VAX-A1, a prophylactic vaccine candidate designed to prevent Group A Strep infections; and VAX-PG, a therapeutic vaccine candidate designed to slow or stop the progression of periodontal disease. Vaxcyte is driven to eradicate or treat invasive bacterial infections, which have serious and costly health consequences when left unchecked.
At Karuna, our purpose is to create and deliver transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions. Through the cultivation of our deep expertise in neuroscience, and inventive thinking around drug discovery and development, we are advancing a pipeline of novel medicines with the goal of providing a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by these conditions. Our culture is defined by our passion to serve those affected by mental illness. We are purpose-driven and intentional. We know impactful innovations don`t come easy, but are borne from passion and hard work. Together, we are working toward a goal bigger than ourselves.
Presbia is a medical device company focused on the development of the presbyopia-correcting Presbia Flexivue Microlens™ – an innovative solution for the common age-related loss of the ability to read or focus on near objects. The 3mm diameter lens is implanted in a corneal pocket created by a femtosecond laser.
AuraSense Therapeutics (AST) is a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class therapies based upon its proprietary Spherical Nucleic Acid (SNA) gene regulation and immune modulation strategies. AST is leading the translation of SNA constructs as innovative medicines with a core focus on debilitating diseases with limited or no treatment options. AuraSense Therapeutics' uniquely engineered SNA™ constructs possess attractive biocompatibility and versatility as therapeutics and hold great promise for combating the most life-threatening diseases, including many forms of cancer, infectious disease, and skin conditions.
