Juno Therapeutics is building a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on revolutionizing medicine by re-engaging the body`s immune system to treat cancer. Founded on the vision that the use of human cells as therapeutic entities will drive one of the next important phases in medicine, Juno is developing cell-based cancer immunotherapies based on chimeric antigen receptor and high-affinity T cell receptor technologies to genetically engineer T cells to recognize and kill cancer. Juno is developing multiple cell-based product candidates to treat a variety of B-cell malignancies as well as solid tumors. Several product candidates have shown compelling evidence of tumor shrinkage in clinical trials in refractory leukemia and lymphoma conducted to date. Juno`s long-term aim is to leverage its cell-based platform to develop new product candidates that address a broader range of cancers and human diseases. Juno brings together innovative technologies from some of the world`s leading research institutions, including the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Seattle Children`s Research Institute, and The National Cancer Institute. Juno Therapeutics has an exclusive license to the St. Jude Children`s Research Hospital patented technology for CD19 directed product candidates that use 4-1BB, which was developed by Dario Campana, Chihaya Imai, and St. Jude Children`s Research Hospital.
Micropoint Bioscience is a Santa Clara, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Nature`s Toolbox™ is a Santa Fe-based R&D, bioinformatics and biomanufacturing start-up that developed a unique, recombinant in vitro transcription/translation system for research- to mid-scale, host-independent biological manufacturing.
Celladon is a privately held biotechnology company founded with the goal of developing molecular therapies for cardiovascular diseases. Breakthroughs in the basic understanding of the cardiovascular networks combined with powerful new technologies have provided the foundation for new, rational, and technologically sophisticated approaches to cardiovascular treatments. Our first product candidate is designed to target the key enzyme deficiency in advanced heart failure which regulates calcium cycling and contractility in heart muscle cells.
Cadence Neuroscience is developing a next generation implantable device therapy for epilepsy. The therapy, pioneered by researchers at Mayo Clinic over the past decade, uses advanced methods to provide individualized treatment for each patient. Our core technology includes a specialized neuromodulation platform that enables these methods. Cadence is currently engaged in the engineering and testing of the platform, and preparing for additional clinical evaluations.
