Avalanche is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing novel gene therapies to transform the lives of patients with sight-threatening ophthalmic diseases. Using a next generation gene therapy platform, the Ocular BioFactory™, the Company is developing products designed to provide long-term benefit or a functional cure by inducing a sustained expression of a therapeutic protein with a one-time administration in the eye.
Orsini Healthcare is a Elk Grove Village, IL-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Global BioChem is a Cincinnati, OH-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
TYME, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company focused on creating medicines that specialize in using the body’s immune system to treat diseases. The body has the ability to fight off major diseases and heal itself. Tyme is researching a mechanism that it believes may work alongside the body’s immune system to fight Stage IV Metastatic Cancer. Tyme hopes to provide a novel compound for physicians to use in a treatment regimen for patients fighting six major cancers (breast, lung, prostrate, gastric, esophageal and pancreatic cancers) responsible for 62% of the annual cancer deaths in the United States. The SM-88, Tyme’s proprietary compound, is a novel compound that has the potential to alter defenses to oxidative stress and increase free radical availability to the cancer cell. SM-88 is designed to penetrate the living cancer cells and introduce multiple mechanisms to kill the cell. Inducing transfer of electrons in the cancer cells may allow catalyzed external free radicals to react and stress the cell. SM-88 is a combination of low dose agents used for non-cancer treatment.
Locus Biosciences` novel approach to precision antimicrobials works by taking advantage of an immune system present in many bacteria called the CRISPR-Cas system. The CRISPR-Cas system protects bacteria from invaders such as viruses by creating a small strand of RNA called a CRISPR RNA, which matches a DNA sequence specific to a given invader. If the CRISPR RNA is matched to a complementary DNA sequence, the Cas proteins will cleave the invading DNA.
