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).

Advaxis, Inc., a clinical development stage biotechnology company, focuses on developing immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases. Its Lm -LLO immunotherapy platform technology stimulates the immune system to induce antigen-specific anti-tumor immune responses involving innate and adaptive arms of the immune system by inhibiting the T-cells, Tregs, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and MDSC to promote immunologic tolerance of cancer cells in the tumor. The company’s platform technology also facilitates the immune response by altering the tumor microenvironment to reduce immunologic tolerance in the tumors that makes the tumor more susceptible to immune attack. It has approximately 15 distinct immunotherapies in various stages of development, directly developed by the company and through strategic collaborations. The company’s products in clinical development stage comprise ADXS-HPV that is being evaluated in various clinical trials for cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, and anal cancer; ADXS-PSA for the treatment of prostate cancer; and ADXS-cHER2 for the treatment of overexpressing cancers, such as breast, gastric, and other cancers in humans, as well as for osteosarcoma in canines. Advaxis, Inc. was founded in 2002 and is based in Princeton, New Jersey.
