Sonoma Biotherapeutics is inventing the future of living therapies for autoimmune disease — safe, effective treatments as unique as each individual patient. Regulatory T cell therapies that harness a patient`s own immune cells, powerful next generation gene editing techniques and advanced manufacturing and quality assurance processes. Sonoma`s mission is to create a best-in-class regulatory T cell therapy that delivers long-lasting, highly efficacious treatments leading to cures across a spectrum of autoimmune and degenerative diseases.
Kurome Therapeutics is developing therapies that target cancer cells that have co-opted immune signaling pathways in order to avoid destruction by traditional therapeutic agents and subvert adaptive resistance mechanisms.
Codexis is a leading enzyme engineering company leveraging its proprietary CodeEvolver® platform to discover and develop novel, high performance enzymes and novel biotherapeutics. Codexis enzymes have applications in the sustainable manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial products; in the creation of the next generation of life science tools; and as gene therapy and biologic therapeutics. The Company`s unique performance enzymes drive improvements such as: reduced energy usage, waste generation and capital requirements; higher yields; higher fidelity diagnostics; and more efficacious therapeutics. Codexis enzymes enable the promise of synthetic biology to improve the health of people and the planet.
Pillar Biosciences aims to "Make precision medicine the first option for every patient" by developing and manufacturing targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based assays and software for today`s high-throughput specialty NGS laboratories. Through our SLIMamp technology (a multiplex overlapping PCR chemistry) Pillar offers a streamlined, robust and economical workflow with high mapping and on-target metrics. In conjunction with the SLIMamp assay technology, Pillar Biosciences has an informatics pipeline called the Pillar Variant Analysis Toolkit (PiVAT) that is not only highly accurate, enabling somatic variant calls down to 1% allele frequency without use of Unique Identifiers (UIDs), but also fast and efficient, returning valuable sample data quickly. For higher-sensitivity applications such as cell-free DNA analyses, Pillar Biosciences has developed a dedicated assay technology for cell-free DNA that uses UID methodology, to work with the PiVAT pipeline to drive sensitivity down to 0.1%-0.2%. Current as of May 25, 2021.
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.
