MOBILion Systems is enabling advancements in disease diagnosis and treatment by commercializing instruments that improve multi-omics disease, drug, and biomarker discovery.
Invicro, A Konica Minolta Company, was founded with a mission of improving the role and function of imaging in translational drug discovery and development. To this effort we offer a suite of services and software with applications ranging from tissue to human, from target identification to Phase IV trials across the entire electromagnetic spectrum of imaging techniques. We start all projects with a data-driven mentality and the knowledge that quality data are the key to solving scientific challenges. Our analytics team is constantly innovating to develop the processes by which true and valuable quantitative information is extracted. Our approach has always been one of a scientific partner and collaborator, offering the service of our 200+ researchers on our team from a broad array of disciplines.
Mohawk Shared Services is a Burlington, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Freeline is a clinical-stage, fully integrated, next generation, systemic AAV-based gene therapy company with the ambition of transforming the lives of patients suffering from inherited systemic debilitating diseases. We are headquartered in the UK and we also have operations in Germany and the US. Freeline was founded in 2015 and builds upon the pioneering work by our Clinical and Scientific Advisor and Director, Professor Amit Nathwani, Professor of Haematology at UCL. With our liver-based investigational gene therapy technology, we aim to improve the lives of people with chronic systemic diseases and realise the potential of gene therapy treatments.
Epizyme is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and plans to commercialize innovative personalized therapeutics for patients with genetically defined cancers. We systematically identify the genetic alterations that create cancer causing genes, called oncogenes, select patients in whom the identified genetic alteration is found, and then design small molecule therapeutic product candidates to inhibit the oncogene. The clinical development plan for each of our therapeutic product candidates is directed towards patients with a particular genetically defined cancer. Our approach is part of a broader trend towards personalized therapeutics based on first identifying the underlying cause of a disease affecting specific patient populations, applying rational drug design tools to create a therapeutic to inhibit a molecular target in the identified disease pathway, and using a companion diagnostic to select the right patients for treatment. We have built a proprietary product platform that we use to create small molecule inhibitors of a 96-member class of enzymes known as histone methyltransferases, or HMTs. Genetic alterations can result in changes to the activity of HMTs, making them oncogenic. When Epizyme was founded, we recognized that the HMT class of enzymes might contain many potential oncogenes and presented the opportunity to discover, develop and commercialize multiple personalized therapeutics. We have prioritized 20 of the 96 HMTs as attractive targets for personalized therapeutics based on their oncogenic potential. Our two most advanced therapeutic product programs target the HMTs DOT1L (for the treatment of acute leukemias with genetic alterations of MLL) and EZH2 (for a genetically defined subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and solid tumors including INI1-deficient tumors). We believe that our ongoing Phase 1 adult trial for EPZ-5676, targeting DOT1L, is the first clinical trial of an HMT inhibitor. In May 2014, we initiated a Phase 1b clinical trial for EPZ-5676 in pediatric patients with MLL-r leukemia, which is considered to be the last largely untreatable pediatric acute leukemia. We are also conducting a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of EPZ-6438, which is being developed for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and solid tumors including INI1-deficient tumors such as synovial sarcoma and malignant rhabdoid tumors, or MRT. We were founded in 2007 and are led by a management team with extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry. We have entered into therapeutic collaborations with Celgene, Eisai and GSK that have provided us with approximately $184 million in non-equity funding. As of June 30, 2014, we had $232.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivables.
