Rallybio is a privately-held development-stage biotechnology company incorporated in January 2018. Our ambition is to create a leading biotechnology organization that transforms the lives of patients with devastating disease, built around people with an outstanding track record in pharmaceutical research and development. We will identify and accelerate the development of highly-promising drug candidates that have strong biological rationales and that can be addressed using the well-validated therapeutic modalities of small molecules, engineered proteins, and antibodies. A part of the Technology Incubation Program at the University of Connecticut in Farmington, CT, we continue to expand our drug acquisition and development capabilities through the assembly of a team of individuals with an outstanding track record in pharmaceutical research, development, and a strong understanding of the financial components of the industry. This seasoned team enables us to search for and evaluate assets using a series of robust clinical and commercial filters that will allow us to identify and acquire a portfolio of high-quality small molecule and protein-based assets in the late discovery to early clinical stages of drug development. Named by FierceBiotech as one of its “Fierce 15” Biotech Companies of 2018, the company was recognized as being among “the most promising private biotech startups”. Rallybio has earned the support of highly-respected investors in the bioscience sector and announced in April 2018 that it had secured $37.0 million in Series A funding with lead financing from 5AM Ventures, Canaan Partners, and New Leaf Venture Partners, and additional public-sector participation from Connecticut Innovations.
Precision BioSciences is a publicly held biotechnology company dedicated to improving life through its next generation gene editing technology, ARCUS. Precision`s cell therapy, gene therapy, and agriculture programs are based on the proprietary ARCUS gene editing platform, which features coordinated target site binding and DNA cutting to ensure precise edits. Our team includes pioneers in genome engineering, biotech business leaders, and a growing staff of committed Precisioneers. We work together in our beautifully designed, award-winning space in vibrant downtown Durham, NC; a place with great restaurants and museums as well as fantastic housing and schools. Precision provides all employees a sense of purpose, thoughtfully designed laboratory and office spaces, and opportunities to train and grow – not to mention plentifully stocked kitchens and fantastic benefits. At Precision BioSciences, we are excited to work together toward improving lives by realizing the potential of gene editing.
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.
Gritstone bio brings together a group of distinguished scientific founders and advisors, a highly experienced and diverse leadership team and a seasoned and successful board of directors to tackle fundamental challenges at the intersection of cancer genomics, immunotherapy and other precision therapy areas, specifically in COVID-19 and HIV. With our unique approach to immuno-oncology and infectious diseases, we seek to generate a therapeutic immune response by leveraging insights into the immune system`s ability to recognize and destroy diseased cells by targeting select antigens. We started with a focus on tumor-specific neoantigens and more recently extended our programs to include viral antigens displayed on the surface of virus-infected cells. The biology underlying immune system recognition of targets on the surface of abnormal cells is common to both anti-tumor and anti-viral immunity. Consequently, we believe that activating and directing the immune system to these targets could offer an important opportunity to extend the benefits of immunotherapy for more patients.
