PACT Pharma is an independent, privately funded company recently launched by Arcus and scientific founders Jim Heath (Caltech), Toni Ribas (UCLA) and David Baltimore (Caltech). PACT`s vision is to be the leader in creating, developing and commercializing cell-based therapies for the cure of cancer. Our mission is to leverage technology developed in the laboratories of Jim Heath and David Baltimore to advance the feasibility, affordability and clinical utilization of personalized neoantigen-specific adoptive cell therapy for cancer. PACT is developing personalized adoptive T cell therapies for the eradication of solid tumors. The identification of neo-epitopes that serve as private mutations for each patient`s cancer creates a unique opportunity to engineer autologous T cells that target and kill tumors expressing these neo-antigens. PACT utilizes technology to identify T cells that recognize the neo-epitope. The unique T-cell receptor (TCR) sequences obtained from these neo-epitope-reactive cells are then engineered into T cells from the patient`s own blood to produce PACT`s therapeutic product: a tsunami of fresh, active T cells that, following infusion into the patient, recognize and attack each patient`s cancer cells.

Syros Pharmaceuticals is pioneering the understanding of the non-coding region of the genome to advance a new wave of medicines that control expression of disease-driving genes. Syros has built a proprietary platform that is designed to systematically and efficiently analyze this unexploited region of DNA in human disease tissue to identify and drug novel targets linked to genomically defined patient populations. Because gene expression is fundamental to the function of all cells, the Company’s gene control platform has broad potential to achieve profound and durable benefit across a range of diseases. Syros is focused on cancer and immune-mediated diseases and is advancing a growing pipeline, including its lead drug candidates SY-1425, a selective RARα agonist for genomically defined subsets of patients identified by its platform, for a range of cancers including acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, and SY-1365, a selective CDK7 inhibitor for a range of blood cancers and solid tumors. Led by a team with deep experience in drug discovery, development and commercialization, Syros is located in Cambridge, Mass.
