MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.
Personalis, Inc. is partnering with biopharma to develop and commercialize the next generation of cancer immunotherapies. We provide advanced genomic sequencing and analytics for immuno-oncology. Our patented ACE (Accuracy and Content Enhanced) Technology forms the foundation of all Personalis products and makes it possible for us to achieve augmented coverage of difficult-to-sequence genomic regions often missed with the use of conventional sequencing techniques, for more comprehensive and accurate genomic data. ACE ImmunoID, our universal platform for immuno-oncology, combines augmented whole exome and transcriptome assays with analytics that capture neoantigens, elucidate the tumor microenviroment, and identify mechanisms of tumor escape.
