We are a global biotechnology company, specializing in discovering, developing, and delivering innovative therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative, non-malignant hematologic and autoimmune diseases to patients worldwide. As a company, we are focused on cutting-edge science and medicines that address unmet patient needs and change the course of these devastating diseases. Founded in 1978, we are the world`s oldest independent biotechnology company and take pride in being known for pioneering the development of leading multiple sclerosis therapies. With approximately 7,000 employees worldwide, we are focused on better understanding the underlying biology of diseases so we can discover and deliver innovative treatments that make a real difference in the lives of patients. We also put great focus on being good corporate citizens. Our commitment to corporate citizenship extends to patient education and support programs, giving back to the communities in which we operate, promoting and advancing science education, and operating in a sustainable manner. These cultural imperatives are directly incorporated into our business activities.
Advanced Cell Diagnostics, Inc. (ACD) is a leader in the emerging field of molecular pathology, developing cell- and tissue-based diagnostic tests for personalized medicine. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, ACD was founded and managed by experienced entrepreneurs in the life science industry. ACD’s products and services are based on its proprietary RNAscope® Technology, the first multiplex fluorescent and chromogenic in situ hybridization platform capable of detecting and quantifying RNA biomarkers in situ at single molecule sensitivity. In addition to its ongoing efforts to develop proprietary diagnostic tests for cancer management, ACD also establishes partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to validate biomarkers for targeted therapeutic development. These internal and external efforts will continue to position ACD as a leader in molecular diagnostics and companion diagnostics. The company’s technology overcomes critical hurdles in the identification and validation of biomarkers for companion diagnostics. ACD’s RNAscope® platform provides a new way of localizing and measuring RNA in situ with exceptional levels of sensitivity, specificity, and the ability to multiplex. Turnaround time for a new assay is reduced to three weeks. These advantages make the technology a powerful tool to address the issue of patient and disease heterogeneity, thus shortening the path to personalized medicine.
Bio-Path is a biotechnology company developing targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and other challenging cancers. The company`s lead product candidate, prexigebersen (Liposomal Grb2 Antisense), formerly BP1001, is currently being assessed in a Phase 2 clinical study in 54 people with previously untreated AML who are not eligible for or who have decided to forego intensive induction therapy because of their age or fragile health.
Cellarity`s mission is to fundamentally transform the way medicines are created through the development of the first full stack digital cell. Founded by Flagship Pioneering in 2017, Cellarity has developed unique capabilities combining high-resolution data, single cell technologies, and machine learning to encode biology, model interventions, and purposefully design breakthrough medicines. By focusing on the cellular changes that underlie disease instead of a single target, Cellarity`s approach uncovers new biology and treatments and is applicable to a vast array of disease areas. The company currently has programs underway in metabolic disease, hematology, immuno-oncology, and respiratory disease. The company has raised $123 million as part of a Series B funding round with contributions from funds and accounts managed by Blackrock, The Baupost Group, Banque Pictet on behalf of their clients, and eight other investors alongside Flagship Pioneering.
