Kyverna Therapeutics is pioneering a new class of therapies and cures for serious autoimmune diseases. Our therapeutic platform combines advanced T cell engineering and synthetic biology technologies to suppress and eliminate the autoreactive immune cells at the root cause of disease. Kyverna is venture-backed and located in the San Francisco East Bay.
At Bionano, we are committed to unlocking understanding of genome biology to advance the promise of genomics in areas including cancer and human disease, agricultural bioengineering and genome discovery. Our team is not afraid to venture into uncharted territory to look for answers. We welcome the curious and provide a place where those who are not satisfied with the status quo can feel at home. Our next-generation genome mapping and analysis tools help researchers see true genome structure to fill in what`s missing from sequencing-based data. Saphyr™, our high-speed, high-throughput whole genome mapping solution, offers unmatched structural variation discovery capabilities and the ability to construct the most complete genome assemblies. At Bionano, we are invested in the success of our customers and users around the world, and are dedicated to supporting them with the tools, resources and support they need to achieve their goals and make a real impact on improving quality of life for all.
XOMA is a late-stage biotechnology company with a diverse portfolio of innovative therapeutic antibodies. The Company has built an expertise in allosteric modulation and has applied that expertise to expand the therapeutic potential of monoclonal antibodies. The first compound from XOMA’s allosteric modulating antibody program is gevokizumab, an IL-1 beta modulating antibody. XOMA has partnered with SERVIER, a global pharmaceutical company based in France, to develop and commercialize gevokizumab for the global market, and the companies are conducting a global Phase 3 program in people with Behçet’s disease uveitis and non-infectious uveitis. Each company also has a proof-of-concept (POC) clinical program in place to identify other IL-1 mediated diseases that could be treated with gevokizumab. One of these POC studies led XOMA to select its next Phase 3 indication, pyoderma gangrenosum, a rare ulcerative skin disease. XOMA`s scientific research also produced the XMet program, which consists of three classes of preclinical allosteric modulating antibodies, including Selective Insulin Receptor Modulators (SIRMs) that could have a major impact on the treatment of diabetes. XOMA will retain the compound that has potential to treat several rare insulin dysfunction-related diseases and to out-license the compounds that could address the diabetes markets.
Mersana is rewriting the rules for immunoconjugate therapies by leveraging our Fleximer platform to create precisely targeted and highly tailored drugs that radically improve patients` lives. Our Fleximer platform allows us to custom design an ADC with specific properties to overcome limitations of current ADC approaches and increase the drug`s chances of effectively attacking a particular cancer. We engineer immunoconjugates to deliver industry-leading payloads of an array of anti-tumor agents directly to cancerous cells, controlling when, where and how those agents are released. Because we can safely deliver higher quantities of therapeutic payloads directly to a tumor, Mersana`s ADC therapies have the potential to more effectively treat broader populations of cancer patients while significantly reducing the side effects associated with many of today`s cancer treatments.
Korro Bio is an RNA editing company focused on the discovery and development of a new class of precision genetic medicines for both rare and common diseases. The company`s proprietary and modular platform, OPERA™ (Oligonucleotide promoted editing of RNA), builds on a deep understanding of ADAR biology, and combines data-driven design, oligo discovery and chemistry with clinically validated delivery vehicles, to achieve highly selective RNA editing. This unique technology enables the development of RNA editing therapeutics that deliver the functional benefits of gene therapy with a reversible, transient, titratable and specific treatment regimen, offering the potential to propel genetic medicine beyond rare genetic diseases into larger patient populations with common diseases. Korro is based in Cambridge, Mass.
