Metavention is a venture-backed medical device company founded in 2012 that is developing a novel glucose control therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes. Metabolic Neuromodulation Therapy (MNT) is a simple cardiovascular procedure intended to modulate sympathetic nervous system activity in patients with Type 2 diabetes for the purpose of lowering blood glucose levels. MNT was developed based on published scientific data and extensive animal studies suggesting a link between elevated sympathetic nerve activity in the metabolic system and increased levels of blood glucose. MNT is currently being studied in human clinical trials and represents a potentially important new treatment option for patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Genpathway, Inc. is a San Diego, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
ALSP Inc. (American Life Science Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), is a privately held company based in San Diego, California, developing new small molecule drugs for treating neurodegenerative disease initially focused on traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer`s disease. Our approach is to identify key enzymes in the brain, called proteases, which produce biologically active peptides, proteins or processes that are thought to underlie the disease. We then use those enzymes as targets for screening compounds that inhibit these proteases and thereby prevent the harmful effect caused by these peptides, proteins and processes to treat the disease. By using this innovative process, our goal is to create and advance highly-effective drug development strategies and products for treating not only traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer`s disease, but other Neurodegenerative Conditions such as Huntington`s disease, Parkinson`s disease and MS, and recover quality of life for those patients and their families.
Homology is based on groundbreaking science that harnesses the naturally occurring process of homologous recombination. This non-nuclease-based approach offers clear advantages in its precision, efficiency and on-target in vivo editing of genetic mutations. Homology obtained an exclusive worldwide license to this technology platform, which is based on the pioneering research of Saswati Chatterjee, Ph.D., Professor of Virology at the Beckman Research Institute at the City of Hope in California, member of the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) to the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH) and former charter member of the Therapeutic Approaches to Genetic Diseases Study Section of the NIH. Dr. Chatterjee and her team led the first adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated gene transfer studies into human hematopoietic stem cells and subsequently identified and isolated a series of naturally-occurring AAVs from human CD34+ cells.
BioHitech America is the industry leader in the development of a simple, cost-effective food waste disposal technology designed to solve today’s landfill diversion and sustainability objectives. The Eco-Safe Digester handles food waste at the point of generation, no residual food waste to store or transport. The Eco-Safe Digester can convert up to 2,400 pounds of food waster per day into a nutrient-neutral grey water that can safely be disposed of via municipal sewer systems. The Eco-Safe Digester saves money by avoiding disposal costs and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by providing a sustainable means of transportation for the waste by-product with doesn’t require on-road transportation. The Eco-Safe Digester’s cloud-based management solution is designed to measure and collect food waste data. It correlates information to report cost savings and environmental reductions as well as communicate opportunities to prevent waste altogether. This modifiable data can also be used to assess the performance of your staff and predict trends for smarter budgeting and purchasing purposes. In addition to diverting food waste from landfills and converting food waste into a resource, the machine is now poised for significant growth in this emerging data-driven zero waste initiative climate because it identifies waste in order to prevent the creation of it all together. Already implemented in many applications across the globe, the Eco-Safe Digester is ideal for use in any food service, hospitality, healthcare, government, conference center, education center, or stadium that generates a high volume of waste.
