MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.

Founded in Finland in 2000, Nexstim is the world leader in Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) with image-guided Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The company is committed to improving the quality of life of patients. Nexstim has pioneered the technology for brain diagnostics with the Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) System as the first and only FDA-cleared and CE-marked navigated TMS (nTMS) device for pre-surgical mapping of the motor and speech cortices. The advanced technology providing navigation to TMS has led NBS to be recognized as the emerging standard for pre-operative direct functional mapping. Nexstim initiated its two year multicenter clinical trial on the therapeutic effects of nTMS for stroke rehabilitation in June 2014 with Navigated Brain Therapy
