Beyond Air, Inc. is a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a revolutionary NO Generator and Delivery System, LungFit®, that uses NO generated from ambient air to deliver precise amounts of NO to the lungs for the potential treatment of a variety of pulmonary diseases. The LungFit® can generate up to 400 ppm of NO, for delivery either continuously or for a fixed amount of time and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose. The Company is currently applying its therapeutic expertise to develop treatments for pulmonary hypertension in various settings, in addition to treatments for respiratory tract infections that are not effectively addressed with current standards of care. Beyond Air is currently advancing its revolutionary LungFit® for clinical trials for the treatment of severe lung infections such as acute viral pneumonia (including COVID-19) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Additionally, Beyond Air is using ultra-high concentrations of NO with a proprietary delivery system to target certain solid tumors in the pre-clinical setting.
Oral integrin therapies for patients with immunological, fibrotic, neoplastic and vascular diseases. Morphic Tx is joining a three decade quest led by our scientific founder, Tim Springer, who initially discovered the integrin receptor family in the 1980s. This receptor family is an important drug target that has fueled the successful development of six injectable therapies approved for treatment of multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn`s disease, plaque psoriasis, acute coronary syndrome and complications during percutaneous coronary intervention.
Prime Medicine was founded to bring the promise of gene editing to patients. We use Prime Editing, a next-generation technology that can “search and replace” to restore normal genetic function almost anywhere in the genome. Prime Editing searches to find the precise place in the genome to edit and replaces the segment of faulty DNA with a correct copy of DNA. A single Prime Editor can correct the individual mutations found across patients, meaning Prime Editing can potentially address more than 90 percent of known disease-causing genetic mutations.
BioAmber is a renewable chemistry company. We use agricultural crops and transform them into green chemicals that directly substitute chemicals derived from oil. BioAmber combines industrial biotechnology and chemical catalysis into a process that offers a better carbon footprint than petrochemicals. In addition to moving away from petroleum, our process consumes CO2, directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and aiding in the fight against global warming. Bioamber is today the only producer of bio-succinic acid, a chemical building block used in a number of applications, such as plastics, polyurethane, solvents, personal care, plasticisers, etc.
Prosetta Biosciences, Inc. is an 11-year old biotechnology company developing novel small-molecule antiviral therapeutics based on over 25 years of basic research on the Cell-Free Protein Synthesizing Systems (CFPSS) by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco and the University of Washington, Seattle. The incorporation of the CFPSS in our drug discovery platform, has lead to the identification of small molecules which disrupt or alter the key protein-protein interactions involved with the assembly of viral capsids (the protein shell that protects the DNA or RNA genome of a virus). Prosetta has successfully produced highly potent compounds which display activity against multiple strains of many viral families including lead series of molecules that are effective antiviral agents against Influenza, HIV and HCV.
