Exonics Therapeutics was launched in February 2017 to advance the research of our scientific founder, Dr. Eric Olson and his laboratory at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) to develop treatments for patients with neuromuscular diseases. Dr. Olson is one of the world’s leading experts in the study of muscle cells and the application of gene editing to treat these types of diseases. In particular, Dr. Olson’s laboratory has used adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a CRISPR/Cas9 technology that can identify and repair exon mutations to restore the production of dystrophin, a protein that helps stabilize and protect muscle fibers. Dystrophin is the protein missing in boys with Duchenne. The loss of dystrophin causes Duchenne.
BH1 (Better Health for Everyone) is a Franklin, TN-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Founded in 2000, Rosetta's integrative research platform combining bioinformatics and state-of- the-art laboratory processes has led to the discovery of hundreds of biologically validated novel human microRNAs. Building on its strong patent position and proprietary platform technologies, Rosetta is working on the application of these technologies in the development and commercialization of a full range of microRNA-based diagnostic tools and therapeutics. Rosetta currently commercializes a full range of microRNA-based molecular diagnostics. Rosetta's cancer testing services are commercially available through its Philadelphia-based CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified lab.
Gritstone bio brings together a group of distinguished scientific founders and advisors, a highly experienced and diverse leadership team and a seasoned and successful board of directors to tackle fundamental challenges at the intersection of cancer genomics, immunotherapy and other precision therapy areas, specifically in COVID-19 and HIV. With our unique approach to immuno-oncology and infectious diseases, we seek to generate a therapeutic immune response by leveraging insights into the immune system`s ability to recognize and destroy diseased cells by targeting select antigens. We started with a focus on tumor-specific neoantigens and more recently extended our programs to include viral antigens displayed on the surface of virus-infected cells. The biology underlying immune system recognition of targets on the surface of abnormal cells is common to both anti-tumor and anti-viral immunity. Consequently, we believe that activating and directing the immune system to these targets could offer an important opportunity to extend the benefits of immunotherapy for more patients.
