Klox Technologies is a Canadian specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on the development and commercialization of its proprietary BioPhotonic technology platform. This non-invasive, pathology-specific topical treatment platform harnesses the power of light and photo activated oxygen-rich gel formulations to target various skin and soft tissue disorders. With franchises in dermatology, wound care, and oral health, Klox Technologies is well positioned to capitalize on significant market opportunities. We believe that our dedication to providing healthcare professionals with novel and effective treatment solutions will allow patients to experience positive results without some of the side effects associated with existing treatments. Klox Technologies’ senior management team has over 80 years of combined experience in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical devices industries. We continue to research, develop, and commercialize solutions based on our BioPhotonic technology platform for a growing and aging population that is seeking more effective and less invasive treatment options to improve their health and quality of life.
Galecto is a clinical stage biotechnology company committed to the development of novel small molecule therapeutics directed at biological targets which are at the heart of fibrosis, inflammation, and cancer. Galecto was founded by leading fibrosis-focused scientists and biotech executives and is built on more than 10 years of research into galectin and fibrosis modulators. Our team has developed a deep understanding of the galectin family of proteins and the LOXL2 enzyme, and how both influence multiple biological pathways of these complex, often devastating, diseases. Galecto is funded by Novo Holdings, OrbiMed, Ysios, HBM Healthcare Investments, Sunstone Capital, M Ventures, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Maverick Ventures, Seventure and SEED Capital.
BMG Labtech is a Cary, NC-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Symic is developing a new category of therapeutics that offer an exciting and biologically innovative approach to treating disease. While it is clear that cells play an important role in tissue inflammation and regeneration, it is also known that the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an equally critical role in maintaining healthy tissue. The ECM is the non-cellular component of the body’s tissues, and proteoglycans are important structural and functional macromolecules native to the ECM that are known to protect against tissue degradation and promote healing during illness or injury. Recognizing the importance of proteoglycans in many acute and chronic disease states, Symic developed a library of proprietary, ECM-specific compounds that mimic the protective effect of natural proteoglycans. For controlled injuries (e.g. incisions, balloon angioplasty), Symic’s ECM-specific compounds allow for local application, enhancing their ability to attenuate inflammation and reduce scarring only at the site of injury. In disease states known for chronic inflammation involving the ECM (e.g. cartilage in osteoarthritis), Symic’s technology can disrupt the cycle of degradation-inflammation by directly targeting and protecting the injured ECM. The ECM plays a critical role in many acute and chronic disease states, many of which have limited or no effective therapeutic options. Symic plans to advance its compounds in a variety of therapeutic areas with unmet clinical needs.
