Rapid Micro Biosystems accelerates the detection of microbial contamination in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and personal care products. The company`s Growth Direct™ Platform—the first and only growth-based platform to fully automate traditional microbial testing—detects contamination more quickly, delivering compelling economic benefits while improving quality control processes. The Growth Direct platform replaces slow, error-prone, manual processes, allowing manufacturers to accelerate timelines, maximize capacity, and reduce operational risk and downtime, all while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity. Rapid Micro Biosystems is dedicated to providing groundbreaking technology and products to support biomanufacturing companies in their mission to deliver the highest possible quality products for improved patient outcomes. Rapid Micro Biosystems is headquartered and has U.S. manufacturing in Lowell, Massachusetts, and global locations in Germany and the Netherlands.
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.

Generex Biotechnology has been engaged primarily in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus has been our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a handheld aerosol applicator. Generex Biotechnology has a two business focuses: 1) implementing an acquisition strategy and 2) financing sponsored clinical trials. We are positioning ourselves as a diversified holding company involved in increasing our "pipeline" of compounds, therapies, treatments, diagnostics, and technologies in all stages in the FDA process through accretive acquisitions. We are also strategically aligning ourselves with the global biopharmaceutical companies by providing a financing solution to them as sponsors of clinical trials, which are conducted by patient care providers (PCPs) such as hospitals, medical research institutes, centers, and clinics.
