Advaxis, Inc., a clinical development stage biotechnology company, focuses on developing immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases. Its Lm -LLO immunotherapy platform technology stimulates the immune system to induce antigen-specific anti-tumor immune responses involving innate and adaptive arms of the immune system by inhibiting the T-cells, Tregs, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and MDSC to promote immunologic tolerance of cancer cells in the tumor. The company’s platform technology also facilitates the immune response by altering the tumor microenvironment to reduce immunologic tolerance in the tumors that makes the tumor more susceptible to immune attack. It has approximately 15 distinct immunotherapies in various stages of development, directly developed by the company and through strategic collaborations. The company’s products in clinical development stage comprise ADXS-HPV that is being evaluated in various clinical trials for cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, and anal cancer; ADXS-PSA for the treatment of prostate cancer; and ADXS-cHER2 for the treatment of overexpressing cancers, such as breast, gastric, and other cancers in humans, as well as for osteosarcoma in canines. Advaxis, Inc. was founded in 2002 and is based in Princeton, New Jersey.
Yourgene Health, an integrated technologies and services business, enabling the delivery of genomic medicine. Our Expertise: Yourgene has >10 years of experience and expertise in liquid biopsy through NIPT, sample preparation and now precision medicine.
Personalis, Inc. is partnering with biopharma to develop and commercialize the next generation of cancer immunotherapies. We provide advanced genomic sequencing and analytics for immuno-oncology. Our patented ACE (Accuracy and Content Enhanced) Technology forms the foundation of all Personalis products and makes it possible for us to achieve augmented coverage of difficult-to-sequence genomic regions often missed with the use of conventional sequencing techniques, for more comprehensive and accurate genomic data. ACE ImmunoID, our universal platform for immuno-oncology, combines augmented whole exome and transcriptome assays with analytics that capture neoantigens, elucidate the tumor microenviroment, and identify mechanisms of tumor escape.
Immunomic Therapeutics, Inc. (ITI) is a privately-held clinical stage biotechnology company headquartered in Hershey, PA with lab facilities in Rockville, MD. ITI is developing next generation vaccines based on the patented Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein, or LAMP, Technology. Our LAMP-Vax™ vaccine platform significantly increases the effectiveness of the immune response to nucleic acid vaccines while simplifying overall vaccine design and delivery, yielding safer, more cost-effective human and animal therapies. LAMP emerged from $20 million of NIH-funded research conducted by distinguished scientist Dr. Tom August at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. ITI has the exclusive worldwide license to the LAMP technology patent estate and is commercializing ground-breaking next generation LAMP DNA vaccines, beginning with allergy, cancer and infectious disease.
