MolecularMD founders Brian Druker (lead clinical investigator for Gleevec, the first molecularly-targeted anticancer agent) and Sheridan G. Snyder (entrepreneur, founder of Genzyme and Upstate Biotechnology) came together with the mission of providing precise, standardized molecular testing for new oncology drugs. The company’s initial accomplishment was in developing and implementing the only standardized assay for quantification of BCR-ABL expression levels, which proved critical to pharmaceutical sponsors in satisfying regulators for approval of the second-generation ABL kinase inhibitors nilotinib (Tasigna, Novartis) and dasatinib (Sprycel, BMS). With that foundational success in supporting pivotal international studies with centralized, high-quality diagnostic services, MolecularMD has become a preferred provider of molecular diagnostics products and services to pharmaceutical and biotech drug developers. Capabilities range from specialty molecular testing services performed in MolecularMD’s centralized CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory, to development of FDA approved companion diagnostics to support new drug registrations.
Nivalis Therapeutics (formerly N30Pharma) is developing a novel class of disease modifying therapies that preserve intracellular GSNO (S-nitrosoglutathione), a key regulator of organ repair, regeneration, and healing. The Company’s lead program is focused on cystic fibrosis. As the body’s primary reservoir of nitric oxide (NO), GSNO plays a pivotal role in NO signaling. Decreased GSNO levels are associated with inflammatory lung disease, and with increased activity of GSNOR (GSNO reductase), the primary catabolizing enzyme of GSNO. Nivalis Therapeutics has developed a broad portfolio of proprietary, potent, small molecule inhibitors of GSNOR that have been shown to preserve endogenous GSNO levels and to be effective in “gold-standard” models of inflammatory lung disease. Nivalis Therapeutics is located in Boulder, Colorado.
