Founded in Finland in 2000, Nexstim is the world leader in Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) with image-guided Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The company is committed to improving the quality of life of patients. Nexstim has pioneered the technology for brain diagnostics with the Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) System as the first and only FDA-cleared and CE-marked navigated TMS (nTMS) device for pre-surgical mapping of the motor and speech cortices. The advanced technology providing navigation to TMS has led NBS to be recognized as the emerging standard for pre-operative direct functional mapping. Nexstim initiated its two year multicenter clinical trial on the therapeutic effects of nTMS for stroke rehabilitation in June 2014 with Navigated Brain Therapy
NanoBio® is a division of BlueWillow Biologics, Inc., a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on developing intranasal vaccines and topical anti-infective therapies based on its patented nanotechnology platform.
Pinetree Therapeutics is an award-winning, pre-clinical stage biotechnology company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We are dedicated to finding solutions for unmet medical need, such as drug resistance and tumor recurrence, in targeted therapy by degradation of disease-causing proteins with AbReptorTM platform. Novel degrader drugs have been exciting scientific field, due to its distinct mechanism of action (removal of disease-causing protein). AbReptorTM was developed for targeted degradation on membrane bound and extracellular proteins causing diseases. Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) and non-RTK inhibitors have made huge progress in the past few years, but their application is limited due to specificity, drug resistance, and on-target toxicity. Our platform`s RTK degraders promise to redefine their distinctive mutation-agnostic properties, differing from existing RTK therapeutics field. With the pre-clinical animal study, our lead molecule demonstrated on-target degradation, mutation agnostic anti-tumor effect, and potent anti-tumor effect in RTK inhibitor resistant tumor. Surprisingly, no signs of toxicity were found in rodent and cynomolgus monkey. Furthermore, it would unluck full potential to solve limitation of RTK and non-RTK therapeutics. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) field made an initial breakthrough with poor response rate, high toxicity profiles, and exhausted poor clinical outcome. Our platform has full potential to solve the current problem of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), PD-(L)1 inhibitors. Our PD-(L)1 degrader is the first ever in-class to demonstrate enhanced anti-tumor immunity in pre-clinical animal studies. Pinetree Therapeutics` lead molecule is in pre-clinical IND stage, and we are committed to expanding our platforms to other target proteins, such as RTKs, non-RTKs, and ICIs. We believe our platform has the potential to transform the field of medicine and revolutionize the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
DTx Pharma is a San Diego based startup with a novel technology for delivery of RNA medicines.
Selecta Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that is seeking to unlock the full potential of biologic therapies by avoiding unwanted immune responses. Selecta`s tolerogenic Synthetic Vaccine Particles (SVP™) technology platform is designed to enable a range of novel biologics for rare and serious diseases that require new treatment options. The company`s current proprietary pipeline includes SVP-enabled enzyme, oncology and gene therapies. SEL-212, the company`s lead candidate in Phase 2, is being developed to treat severe gout patients and resolve their debilitating symptoms, including flares and gouty arthritis. Selecta`s clinical oncology candidate, LMB-100, is in a Phase 1 program targeting pancreatic cancer and mesothelioma. Its two proprietary gene therapy product candidates are being developed for rare inborn errors of metabolism and have the potential to enable repeat administration. The use of SVP is also being explored in the development of vaccines and treatments for allergies and autoimmune diseases. Selecta is based in Watertown, Massachusetts.
