JeNu Biosciences was founded by a leading Washington bio scientist and a medical technology entrepreneur. While working on an ultrasound device for topical drug delivery, they became curious about using ultrasound to improve cosmetic skin care product delivery. High energy ultrasound has been proven effective at pushing drugs through the skin, but in the process cells are damaged and high heat causes intense pain. But since cosmetics only need to be absorbed into the top layer of skin rather than through the skin like drugs they thought a low energy ultrasound device might work. After many attempts they proved that low energy ultrasound wouldn`t help on its own. At the same moment, they had the idea that lead to the JeNu System. Rather than using ultrasound energy to vibrate cells in the skin to open up pathways, what if they vibrated microspheres on the skin to open the pathways. This idea lead to patent application 20120271222 and JeNu Biosciences. Launched in 2009, JeNu spent close to $10MM and 5 years on research, development and engineering. JeNu Biosciences is now proud to present the JeNu System. It`s the first pain free, at home, quick way to increase absorption of your favorite skin care products. In just one minute per target area per day the JeNu system is clinically proven to increase absorption by up to 12 times, and improve the efficacy of skin care products by up to 40% in just 7 days.

Assembly Biosciences (NASDAQ: ASMB) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics targeting hepatitis B virus (HBV) and diseases associated with the microbiome. The HBV program is focused on advancing a new class of potent, oral core inhibitors that have the potential to increase cure rates for chronically infected patients. The microbiome program is developing novel oral live microbial biotherapeutic candidates with Assembly`s fully integrated platform, including a robust process for strain identification and selection, GMP banking and production, and targeted delivery to the lower gastrointestinal tract with the GEMICEL® technology. We pride ourselves on creating a culture and work environment that is scientifically driven, ambitious, and collaborative. We encourage diversity of thought that leads to great innovation and are looking to add to our dynamic team great people who are driven to transform the lives of patients. We believe our Microbiome platform represents a best in class approach to developing biopharmaceutical agents from live biotherapeutic products. ABI-M201, our lead program in mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis (UC), is currently in a phase 1b clinical trial. This program is part of a broader collaboration we established with Allergan in 2017 for gastrointestinal programs such as UC, Crohn`s disease and Irritable Bowel Syndromes with potential total development and commercial milestones of up to $2.8 billion. Our internal pipeline comprises first in class or best in class live microbial biotherapeutic approaches in areas such as oncology, immune mediated and metabolic disorders, and other areas of high medical need. Assembly is headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, while the R&D headquarters is in South San Francisco. The Company also has a microbiome manufacturing facility in Groton, CT, and offices in China.
