Pointilliste is a Mountain View, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
CODA Biotherapeutics` revolutionary chemogenetic platform aims to control the activity of cells to treat disease. With chemogenetics, the goal is to modify a target cell population using gene therapy to express a tunable `switch` protein. Cells modified with the `switch` can be activated or inactivated in a dose-dependent manner by a subsequently administered small molecule therapeutic, an effect that should only occur in the modified cells.
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (www.biorestorative.com) develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. Our two core programs, as described below, relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders: • Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC™): Our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person`s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient`s bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of protruding and bulging lumbar discs in patients suffering from chronic lumbar disc disease. The BRTX-100 production process involves collecting a patient`s bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patient`s damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and who potentially face the prospect of surgery. We have received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat chronic lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease related to protruding/bulging discs. • Metabolic Program (ThermoStem®): We are developing a cell-based therapy to target obesity and metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in the body may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes.
BioCentriq was founded in 2018 and is a full service CDMO for cell and gene therapy process development and clinical manufacturing. Our ISO-7 certified GMP clinical manufacturing facility is in Newark, NJ. At this facility, we manufacture autologous and allogeneic cell therapies, gene therapies and provide analytical and quality services across several cell types. We offer viral vector production, cell and viral banking and upstream and downstream processing. Additionally, we have the capabilities to manufacture immunotherapies, including monoclonal antibodies and proteins, and vaccines. Our facilities provide full customer access to work in hybrid teams from tech transfer through GMP clinical production. BioCentriq has a BSL-2 certified process development facility located in South Brunswick, NJ to accelerate scale-up and translation activities. We are vendor and technology agnostic and work with our clients to leverage the optimal technology platform for your product through the development process. In support of our full suite of process development and clinical manufacturing services, the team at BioCentriq offers pre-defined and custom workforce development programs as well as full access to our centers during projects in a unique collaborative approach with our expert scientists to knowledge transfer.
