Champion Diagnostics is a Baton Rouge, LA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
We are dedicated to developing and commercializing effective and broadly applicable interventions for food allergy. Food allergy is a disease of the immune system that is triggered by an exceptionally broad range of commonly allergenic foods such as cow’s milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish and even sesame. In a perfect world, the human immune system would adapt to all foods. However, in tens of millions of people, the immune system wrongly recognizes some food proteins as harmful and does not adapt. We envision a world where, with help from oral immunotherapy, the immune system can adapt to nearly all food allergens. And we built our inspiration into our name—Alladapt. Alladapt was co-founded in 2018 in Palo Alto, California, by allergist and protein biochemist Kari Nadeau, MD, PhD, and biotechnology entrepreneur, Ashley Dombkowski, PhD. Academic clinical research conducted by Dr. Nadeau has demonstrated that a food allergic immune system in an individual person can be receptive to remodeling by gradually increasing exposure, under tightly controlled clinical supervision, to the proteins that activate the inappropriate cascade of reactions. This work, combined with research illuminating disease mechanisms and pathways, led the founders to envision a biopharmaceutical intervention capable of addressing food allergy provoked by a wide-ranging set of antigens. Food allergy is a serious disease, with potentially life-threatening consequences. The disease has grown dramatically in recent years and now affects more than 6 million children¹ and 26 million adults² in the United States alone. Importantly, about half of people with food allergy are reactive to multiple foods, which further increases the risk of anaphylaxis due to accidental ingestion. The chronic, unpredictable components of this disease can elevate anxiety in patients and their families, and place extreme limitations on their lives. It is our goal to help patients experience more of life’s magical moments with less fear and greater confidence.
Vitro Biopharma, a publicly traded biotechnology firm (OTCQB:VODG), develops technology and products derived from adult stem cells and is currently focused on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs have numerous applications in treatment of a variety of medical conditions, including injuries or diseases of the joints, heart, kidney, liver and lung failure, MS, stroke, cancer, hearing loss, and various other regenerative medicine applications. MSCs may be derived from an individual patient, expanded and then transplanted back to that patient to treat injury or disease through regeneration or repair of specific cells. Vitro manufactures and distributes to global markets a series of products for use by scientists and companies developing clinical applications of MSCs. Our products include: a) Cell Culture Media -We offer various formulations of MSCs and primary cell cultures with numerous competitive advantages. b) Various Cell Lines -Our cell lines include Umbilical Cord Blood derived MSCs, Adipose derived MSCs, Fluorescent Labeled MSCs, Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), and Differentiated MSCs c) Brain-Grow Technologies -Neurological and Inflammatory Biomarker Profiling and Nutraceutical Recovery Packages
At Vyriad, we are developing the next generation of targeted cancer therapies using engineered viruses that selectively attack cancer cells and ignite robust immune responses to prevent cancer recurrence.
