We`re a biotech company committed to developing vaccines against pathogens acquired by mucosal infection such as herpes. Our research leads us to believe that the new approach we`re taking could succeed in defeating herpes by inducing antibodies that mediate the killing of infected cells. We`re strongly committed to this fight, and so far our work has been supported with unprecedented data in multiple preclinical models.
Onconova Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONTX) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule drug candidates to treat cancer. Using a proprietary chemistry platform, Onconova has created an extensive library of targeted anti-cancer agents designed to work against specific cellular pathways that are important in cancer cells, while causing minimal damage to normal cells. Onconova has three product candidates in clinical trials and six active pre-clinical programs. Onconova seeks to develop products that improve the outcome for cancer patients by directly addressing the disease, its recurrence, and the burden of side-effects associated with current methods of treatment.
STIMIT`s proprietary technology enables extended local delivery of cancer immunotherapy in the context of tumor resection, the standard of care for most patients with solid tumors. Concentrating and retaining the action of potent immunomodulators locally dramatically improves the efficacy and safety of these compounds relative to administration in solution, whether via intravenous or even intratumoral injection.
The founders of NXT-ID were an integral part of the senior management teams at Technest Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiary Genex Technologies. Genex Technologies was founded in 1995 to develop and commercialize the unique Rainbow® method of capturing 3D data. Since its founding Genex has developed into one of the market leaders in advanced imaging, including 3D and 360-degree technologies. Genex has developed innovative technologies and products for all aspects of imaging, including capture, processing, display, and enhancement. Genex’s products range from 3D cameras to surveillance algorithms to integrated facial recognition systems. Genex and Technest have won awards from the Department of Defense, NIH, NIST and NSF amounting to over $30 million in support of this technology. NXT-ID has licensed all the Technest /Genex technology (exclusively in many markets) to provide a product portfolio and a strong technical foundation for its further development efforts. In addition, NXT-ID has also licensed patents and know-how from the shareholders of Geometrix, Inc., a leading 3D imaging company using a different technical approach to Technest. This technology performed very favorably at the Face Recognition Vendor Test conducted by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST). NXT-ID also has key scientific and engineering personnel that have had key roles in the development of these technologies and have an important intellectual knowledge base that the Company intends to leverage.
Sapphire Biotech, Inc.`s diagnostic tool is being used to study the company`s enzyme biomarker to detect pancreatic cancer earlier than circulating tumor cells.
