PreciThera, Inc. is a biotechnology company committed to the development of therapies for rare bone diseases using the combined application of computational technology and a deep understanding of disease pathology.
NephroGenex is a Princeton, NJ-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
OvaScience (NASDAQ: OVAS) is a global fertility company dedicated to improving treatment options for women around the world. OvaScience is discovering, developing and commercializing new fertility treatments because we believe women deserve more options. Each OvaScience treatment is based on the Company’s proprietary technology platform that leverages the breakthrough discovery of egg precursor (EggPCSM) cells – immature egg cells found inside the protective ovarian lining.
Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral stability characteristics onto them. The platform has been optimized over the years and involves synergistic integration of rational drug design, diversity oriented computational tools, phage display libraries, recombinant peptide expression, ex vivo oral stability methods, and peptide/medicinal chemistry techniques. This activity has led to the identification of ‘privileged scaffolds’ with favorable oral stability characteristics. Furthermore, the technology platform is well suited both for de novo discovery against a target and optimization around a given chemical starting point.
AnaptysBio is a privately-held antibody development company focused on novel programs in immuno-oncology and inflammation. The Company`s first-in-class proprietary pipeline includes ANB020, an anti-IL-33 antibody for the treatment of severe adult asthma and peanut allergy, and ANB019, an anti-IL-36 receptor antibody for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis. AnaptysBio`s SHM-XEL platform has pioneered the use of in vitro somatic hypermutation for antibody discovery and optimization, which replicates key features of the human immune system and overcomes limitations of prior antibody technologies. AnaptysBio has previously announced partnerships with several biopharmaceutical companies, including Novartis, Gilead, Celgene, Momenta and TESARO.
