Exonics Therapeutics was launched in February 2017 to advance the research of our scientific founder, Dr. Eric Olson and his laboratory at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) to develop treatments for patients with neuromuscular diseases. Dr. Olson is one of the world’s leading experts in the study of muscle cells and the application of gene editing to treat these types of diseases. In particular, Dr. Olson’s laboratory has used adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a CRISPR/Cas9 technology that can identify and repair exon mutations to restore the production of dystrophin, a protein that helps stabilize and protect muscle fibers. Dystrophin is the protein missing in boys with Duchenne. The loss of dystrophin causes Duchenne.
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.
resTORbio, Inc. is a clinical stage company, developing medicines to treat aging-related diseases and conditions. resTORbio`s lead program targets the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway to treat aging-related diseases and conditions. Initially, resTORbio is focused on developing medicines that address conditions caused by immunosenescence, the decline in immune function due to aging. resTORbio has initiated a Phase 2b trial for its lead product candidate, RTB101, evaluating its potential to reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections (RTI) in elderly individuals at increased risk of RTI-related morbidity and mortality. resTORbio`s lead program is built upon two Phase 2a clinical studies demonstrating promising safety and efficacy results in almost 500 elderly individuals.
