DEKA Research and Development Corporation is a Manchester, NH-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Metavention is a venture-backed medical device company founded in 2012 that is developing a novel glucose control therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes. Metabolic Neuromodulation Therapy (MNT) is a simple cardiovascular procedure intended to modulate sympathetic nervous system activity in patients with Type 2 diabetes for the purpose of lowering blood glucose levels. MNT was developed based on published scientific data and extensive animal studies suggesting a link between elevated sympathetic nerve activity in the metabolic system and increased levels of blood glucose. MNT is currently being studied in human clinical trials and represents a potentially important new treatment option for patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Corvidia Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pioneering the next generation of cardiovascular therapies. Leveraging functional genomics, the company`s founding team has decoded previously unrecognized genetic susceptibilities within general cardiovascular populations.
