At Spark Therapeutics, we don`t follow footsteps. We create the path. We were born of innovation, springing from the curiosity, imagination and dedication of remarkable scientists and healthcare visionaries. Our mission is seemingly impossible to others, but not to us: Challenge the inevitability of genetic disease by discovering, developing and delivering treatments in ways unimaginable – until now. Since our founding, we have been committed to bringing a wide range of expertise to build a fully integrated gene therapy company focused on inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), neurodegenerative diseases, as well as diseases that can be addressed by targeting the liver, such as hemophilia. We are seeking talented individuals with diverse experiences, abilities and interests who have the curiosity, courage and drive to reimagine a new health care paradigm. Join us on a journey through uncharted territory – seeking to bring gene therapy for genetic diseases to people worldwide. The resilience of the people we serve is our inspiration to break barriers, as we strive to turn genes into medicine for those with inherited diseases. Spark is a member of the Roche Group.
Curis is a Lexington, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
EpiVax Oncology is developing precision cancer immunotherapies based on mutanome-directed neo-epitopes, selected using proprietary and validated in silico predictive algorithms. Neo-epitopes are mutated and tumor specific epitopes, recognized as non-self, capable of generating highly potent specific T cell immunogenic responses against tumors, translating in improved clinical outcome. EpiVax Oncology is developing neo-epitope based therapeutic vaccines customized and specifically designed for each cancer patient, based on the genetic profiling (using next generation DNA sequencing) of each patient`s unique tumor and normal genome sequence (the mutanome). EpiVax Oncology`s ultimate purpose is to address major unmet medical needs inadequately addressed by other oncology and immuno-oncology treatments which are either only benefiting a very limited subset of patients, or prone to adverse events, or extremely costly and complex to manufacture. EpiVax Oncology`s ambition is to become a premier cancer precision medicine company, leveraging EpiVax`s world class excellence in computational-immunology, genomics and vaccine design, built over the last 20 years.
Tango Therapeutics is a biotechnology company discovering and developing novel medicines targeting cancer vulnerabilities to deliver transformational new therapies for patients. Tango was launched in 2017 with a $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures. The company has established a robust product engine that leverages advances in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery to generate breakthrough medicines that have the potential to provide deeper, more sustained benefit than today`s targeted therapies, and extend the benefit of available immuno-oncology agents. Tango Therapeutics is focused on three areas of drug development, each in well-defined patient populations currently lacking effective treatment options, and each with hallmarks of cancer that have not been targeted yet. These include: loss of tumor suppressor gene function; multiple oncogenic drivers; and immune evasion. What fuels each of Tango`s programs is an increasingly sophisticated ability to utilize synthetic lethality - the interaction between two genes that causes cell death when both are inactivated. In cancer cells, one of these genes is inactivated by mutation; the other will be inactivated by a drug. This approach leaves normal cells largely unaffected, with the potential to greatly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and reduce associated toxicity. Tango`s success will be driven by its depth of understanding of the genetic subtypes of cancer, and corresponding insights into novel drug targets and combinations uniquely relevant to each subtype. By shaping discovery efforts in this way, Tango has the potential to reach the clinic quickly, and with a clear plan for identifying the patients most likely to benefit from each new treatment, an approach that could increase both speed and probability of success in translating novel target discoveries into transformational new medicines for patients.
