Elicio is committed to transforming the lives of patients and their families by re-engineering the body`s immune response to cancer. By combining expertise in materials science and immunology, Elicio is engineering potent vaccines and immuno-therapies for an array of aggressive cancers. The Elicio Amphiphile platform enables precise targeting and delivery of immunogens directly to the lymphatic system, the “brain center” of the immune response, to significantly amplify and enhance the body`s own system of defenses, to defeat cancer and stop its recurrence. This substantially enhanced anti-tumor functionality and long-term protective memory could unlock the full potential of the human immune response to eliminate cancer. Elicio`s lead Amphiphile vaccines targeting pancreatic, colorectal, and head and neck cancer will begin initial patient studies in early 2020. Elicio was founded to expand and apply the ground-breaking Amphiphile technology invented and developed in the labs of Darrell Irvine Ph.D., Professor of Biological Engineering and Materials Sciences and Howard Hughes Investigator, at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Elicio`s Amphiphile vaccines target and concentrate in the lymph nodes resulting in unprecedented tumor-specific immune responses and durable cures of aggressive tumor models in mice.
LUMICKS is the leading supplier of Dynamic Single-Molecule and Cell Avidity analysis instruments` Our instruments enable – for the first time – the analysis of complex dynamic details related to the behavior and interaction of single molecules and cells` Built upon innovative and Nobel Prize-winning technologies, such as optical tweezers (Nobel Prize for Physics 2018), and STED super-resolution (Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2014), our tools enable the understanding of life to the smallest detail` Our goal is to improve human health by unlocking the power of Dynamic Single–Molecule and Cell Avidity analysis to provide unparalleled insight into the fundamental cause of disease and potential for drug optimization` These technologies are rapidly evolving as a mainstream approach in academic and pharma research for the study of DNA-protein interactions, molecular motor activity, protein folding, and cell-cell interactions`
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.
