Effector Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on pioneering the discovery and development of a new class of oncology drugs known as selective translation regulators (STRs). Translation is the process in cells whereby information in genetic sequences is used to direct synthesis of proteins. Each of eFFECTOR’s product candidates is designed to act on a single protein that regulates, in a coordinated manner, the expression of multiple functionally related proteins that together drive important biological processes such as immune evasion, stress and inflammatory responses. In cancer, the tightly controlled translation of specific proteins becomes dysregulated, leading to malignancy characterized by uncontrolled growth, immune evasion and metastases. eFFECTOR believes that its therapeutic approach can restore the translational control of processes which tumors have hijacked for their benefit, while preserving normal cell function.
Bridge Medicines biotech company launched in partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, The Rockefeller University, Weill Cornell Medicine, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. and healthcare investment firms Bay City Capital and Deerfield Management. Our mission is to move breakthrough research to the patient by bringing the best in modern drug discovery to the service of academic medicine.
ContraFect is a biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing therapeutic protein and antibody products for life-threatening, drug-resistant infectious diseases, particularly those treated in hospital settings. Due to drug-resistant and newly emerging pathogens, hospital acquired infections are currently the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, following heart disease, cancer and stroke. We intend to address drug-resistant infections using our therapeutic product candidates from our lysin and monoclonal antibody platforms to target conserved regions of either bacteria or viruses (regions that are not prone to mutation). ContraFect's initial product candidates include new agents to treat antibiotic-resistant infections such as MRSA (drug-resistant staphylococcus bacteria) and influenza.
Soley Therapeutics is a San Francisco-based, privately-held biotechnology company that is combining artificial intelligence with unique proprietary molecular and cellular response detection for discovering and developing new efficacious drugs, using image acquisition-based approaches. We have translated decades of research by Soley`s co-founders on cell-responses to perturbations and resulting information-flow within the cell, into quantifiable high-resolution imaging to identify and accelerate the development of novel therapeutic molecules for complex diseases.
