Medivation Inc., which is now a part of Pfizer, Inc. is focused on the rapid development of novel small molecule drugs to treat serious diseases for which there are limited treatment options. Medivation`s goal is to transform the treatment of these diseases and offer hope to critically ill patients and their families. With the approval of Xtandi (enzalutamide) capsules in late August 2012 and the product launch immediately following, Medivation is continuing to build and develop a world-class workforce to take the company to the next strategic level. Medivation was founded in 2004 by a group of experienced professionals with a long track record of working together successfully as a team in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. They founded Medivation to leverage that expertise to bridge the medical product development gap between early-stage development and product launch. Medivation currently has 500+ employees located in beautiful downtown San Francisco, CA.

Synchem, Inc. is a Elk Grove Village, IL-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
We are a biotechnology company creating a new class of targeted gene therapies for debilitating and life-threatening genetic disorders in both central nervous system (CNS) and non-CNS indications. Current gene therapy approaches have shown dramatic efficacy in several rare diseases but are hindered by imprecise targeting. The inability to selectively transduce specific cells and tissues effectively drives administration of higher doses and resulting safety liabilities. We are addressing these concerns with our proprietary adeno-associated virus (AAV) engineering platform that generates capsids optimized to target specific tissues and cells in the disease organ while limiting transduction of tissues and cells not relevant to the target disease. Through our next-generation AAV platform combined with cargo development and state-of-the-art manufacturing, we are tackling monogenetic and sporadic CNS and non-CNS disorders that have previously been challenging to address.
