IMUNON is a fully integrated, clinical stage biotechnology company focused on advancing a portfolio of innovative treatments that harness the bodys natural mechanisms to generate safe, effective, and durable responses across a broad array of human diseases. IMUNON has two platform technologies: Our TheraPlas® platform for the development of immunotherapies and other anti-cancer nucleic acid-based therapies and our PLACCINE platform for the development of nucleic acid vaccines for infectious diseases and cancer. The Companys lead clinical program, GEN-1, is a DNA-based immunotherapy for the localized treatment of advanced ovarian cancer currently in Phase II development. GEN-1 works by instructing the body to produce safe and durable levels of powerful cancer fighting molecules, such as interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ), at the tumor site. In addition, we are conducting pre-clinical proof-of-concept studies on a nucleic acid vaccine candidate targeting SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to validate our PLACCINE platform. IMUNONs platform technologies are based on the delivery of nucleic acids with novel synthetic delivery systems that are independent of viral vectors or devices. We will continue to leverage these platforms and to advance the technological frontier of plasmid DNA to better serve patients with difficult to treat conditions.
Taranis is a leading precision agriculture intelligence platform that uses sophisticated computer vision, data science and deep learning algorithms to effectively monitor fields. Taranis offers a full-stack solution for high precision aerial surveillance imagery to prevent crop yield loss due to insects, crop Farmers lose 30-40% of their yield every season due to crop diseases, insects, and weeds. Our mission: Help growers maximize crop yield, improve productivity, and adopt sustainable practices in order to ensure prosperity, starting in our local communities and for the benefit of the world. Taranis crop intelligence solutions use deep agronomic expertise and the most advanced AI and submillimeter image technologies to do just that. We make an impact for over 100 agribusinesses, thousands of farmers, and in millions of acres around the world, and grow rapidly. Founded in 2015, Taranis raised over $100M from leading VC investors and is being led by a founding team with vast experience in both agriculture and technology.
