Univercells is a technology company offering novel biomanufacturing platforms, aimed at increasing the availability and affordability of biologics – recombinant proteins and vaccines - for all. Univercells designs innovative production processes to significantly decrease the size of the necessary equipment and facility, for a lower capital and operational cost. The company`s process intensification and integration technology entails smaller footprint and unit cost while offering flexible capabilities, from small to large batches. Deployment of affordable production units enables `in-country, for-country` biologics production, creating value for manufacturers and healthcare systems with cost efficiency and local supply while increasing patients` access to healthcare. Univercells was founded in 2013 by experienced entrepreneurs Hugues Bultot, CEO, and José Castillo, CTO, who bring close to 25 years of expertise in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors. Headquartered in Gosselies (Belgium), Univercells benefits from support from the Walloon region, and received €3 million from Takeda in 2015. Most recently, the company was awarded a $12 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
TissueVision Inc. (TVI) is a multi-disciplinary life sciences company offering 3D tissue imaging and analysis solutions for the research market. Our powerful Serial Two-Photon Plus (STP²) platform features stunning high-resolution multispectral datasets and analysis pipelines that create reliable 3D tissue models. The indexed histological sections produced during the STP² process can be further investigated with secondary analyses that run the gamut from standard histological stains to advanced spatial genomics. The final result is rich, multiplexed 3D models that deliver actionable and quantitative results. TVI provides project design, GLP-like documentation, including full protocol and report generation, and quality control review measures of all study-related materials. TVI is a solution provider to help answer research questions in a variety of therapeutic areas, including neuroscience, cancer, neurodegeneration, ophthalmology, and dermatology.
Sentien Biotechnologies, Inc. is a privately owned, clinical stage company developing novel approaches to cell therapy. Our lead product is designed to allow for controlled, sustained delivery of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secreted factors. This approach immobilizes the MSCs in an extracorporeal device, allowing for doses of therapeutic secreted factors that are unattainable by direct injection.
ARCA was founded on the belief that a precision medicine approach to drug development, tailoring medical treatment to the individual genetic characteristics of patients, can enable more effective therapies, improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. ARCA`s lead development program is intended to be a direct implementation of those ideas. Gencaro™ (bucindolol hydrochloride) is being developed as a potential treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). ARCA has identified genetic variations in cardiac receptors that we believe may predict individual patient response to Gencaro™, giving Gencaro™ the potential to be the first genetically-targeted prevention treatment for AF. ARCA is also developing rNAPc2 as potential treatment for RNA-associated diseases, initially focused on COVID-19.
