Janpix

Janpix is discovering and developing monovalent small molecule degraders of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (“STAT”) proteins. Most members of this family of transcription factors have been known for some time and the relevance of STAT3 & STAT5, in particular, in certain cancers is well validated. Although disrupting the function of STAT proteins is very challenging, Janpix has developed new chemistry to address this complex problem.

Lerner Research Institute

Cleveland Clinic`s rich history includes continuous emphasis on research and innovation. In 1921, the founders stated their commitment not only to treating disease and educating the next generations of healers, but also to researching the causes of disease. They realized that understanding the biological basis of disease is necessary to developing new diagnostics and therapeutics.

Pareto Biotechnologies

Pareto Biotechnologies has pioneered development of a revolutionary synthetic biology platform that produces naturally derived, high value “designer molecules.” Pareto’s technology is the result of over a decade of academic and private sector research and intellectual property focused on one particular polyketide pathway. Building on Dr. Joe Noel’s groundbreaking research at the Salk Institute, this pathway – previously dismissed as the “poor man’s pathway” – is the foundation of Pareto’s platform, capable of generating known products and novel molecules. In the near term, Pareto will introduce  “designer molecules” as cosmetics, flavors and fragrances including molecules with properties unlike anything previously experienced. In the long term, Pareto’s molecules will be designed to enhance nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and industrial commodities. Pareto’s potential is limitless.
