Softcare is a Toronto, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
LUMICKS is the leading supplier of Dynamic Single-Molecule and Cell Avidity analysis instruments` Our instruments enable – for the first time – the analysis of complex dynamic details related to the behavior and interaction of single molecules and cells` Built upon innovative and Nobel Prize-winning technologies, such as optical tweezers (Nobel Prize for Physics 2018), and STED super-resolution (Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2014), our tools enable the understanding of life to the smallest detail` Our goal is to improve human health by unlocking the power of Dynamic Single–Molecule and Cell Avidity analysis to provide unparalleled insight into the fundamental cause of disease and potential for drug optimization` These technologies are rapidly evolving as a mainstream approach in academic and pharma research for the study of DNA-protein interactions, molecular motor activity, protein folding, and cell-cell interactions`
Aruvant`s mission is to bring hope to patients living with rare diseases by developing life changing and potentially curative gene therapies, with a near-term focus on sickle cell disease. Aruvant is a part of the Roivant family of companies. We have a talented team with extensive experience in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of gene therapy products. We have an active research program with a lead product candidate in development for individuals suffering from sickle cell disease (SCD). Our lead product candidate, ARU-1801, an investigational lentiviral gene therapy, is currently in a clinical trial as a potential one-time curative treatment for SCD. Preliminary clinical data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study demonstrated durable efficacy in reducing the negative impacts of SCD. We are preparing for the launch of our pivotal clinical trial in SCD. We continue to look for new people to add to our talented team.
Sana Biotechnology is focused on utilizing engineered cells as medicines for patients. The ability to modify genes and use cells as medicines will be one of the most important advances in healthcare over the next several decades. Sana is building differentiated capabilities across the spectrum of cell and gene therapy. Three aspirations drive Sana as we look to discover treatments for patients with poor outcomes or currently untreatable diseases. The first is the ability to repair and control the genes in any cell in the body. We are advancing novel delivery technologies with the goal of being able to deliver any payload to any cell in a specific, predictable, and repeatable manner, paving the way for next-generation in vivo gene therapy. Next is the ability to differentiate pluripotent stem cells ex vivo into immune-cloaked functional cells with the aspiration of being able to replace any missing or damaged cells in the body. Last is a belief we can enable broader access to our therapies through focusing on scalable manufacturing solutions, the cost of manufacturing, and aligning with key stakeholders. Sana launched in early 2019 and has approximately two hundred employees in Seattle, Cambridge, and South San Francisco. In 2019, we raised capital to enable our broad vision, began to acquire technology and establish an IP estate across cell and gene therapy, and made significant progress validating our cell and gene therapy platforms. Growing from this foundation, we intend to push forward our platforms and product pipeline in 2020 and beyond.
