Allyis Inc is a Bellevue, WA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
National Food Laboratories Inc is a Livermore, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
DBV Technologies (DBV) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering safe and effective treatments for patients with food allergies and other unmet medical needs. DBV has developed a proprietary technology platform called Viaskin®, which is based on epicutaneous immunotherapy, or EPIT®, DBV`s method of delivering biologically active compounds to the immune system. This novel mechanism of action accesses the immune system through intact skin without allowing passage of the antigen into the bloodstream. The company is also exploring Viaskin® in other areas of unmet need including vaccines, inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases. DBV was founded in 2002 by Dr. Pierre-Henri Benhamou, Chairman and CEO, Dr. Christophe Dupont, Chairman of DBV`s Scientific Advisory Board, and Mr. Bertrand Dupont, Chief Technology Officer.
Regulus is focused on the discovery and development of microRNA therapeutics. microRNAs are members of a large class of non-coding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length that regulate most genes in the genome. A single microRNA can target and regulate up to hundreds of genes, and these genes are involved in biological networks or pathways. Dysregulated microRNA expression is involved in the initiation of many complex multi-factoral diseases, including cancer, inflammatory disease, fibrosis, and metabolic disease. microRNA therapeutics are oligonucleotide medicines that modulate the function of microRNAs, correcting the imbalance of gene expression and associated cellular pathways to treat human disease. Regulus was formed in September 2007 by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ALNY) and Isis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ISIS). Regulus benefits substantially from the collective therapeutic RNA expertise of its founding companies, including established proprietary oligonucleotide-based technologies, and broad and dominant intellectual property estates specific to chemically modified oligonucleotides. Regulus has access to over 900 patents and patent applications pertaining to oligonucleotide technologies useful for targeting microRNA therapeutics, and over 170 patents and patent applications directed to microRNA specific technologies. Regulus is located in La Jolla, California and is led by a seasoned executive team and board of directors, with proven expertise in corporate management, business operations, drug discovery and drug development. Regulus’ scientific advisory board consists of world-class scientists and several of the foremost authorities in the field of microRNA research.
