Solugen is a venture-backed biotech startup that replaces petroleum based products with plant-derived substitutes.
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (www.biorestorative.com) develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. Our two core programs, as described below, relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders: • Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC™): Our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person`s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient`s bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of protruding and bulging lumbar discs in patients suffering from chronic lumbar disc disease. The BRTX-100 production process involves collecting a patient`s bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patient`s damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and who potentially face the prospect of surgery. We have received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat chronic lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease related to protruding/bulging discs. • Metabolic Program (ThermoStem®): We are developing a cell-based therapy to target obesity and metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in the body may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes.
EcoArray is a Gainesville, FL-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Transcriptic is a very small company. We like it that way. Our work culture is an unstructured environment where you can do your best work supported by a group of your peers. Everyone sets their own goals, and everyone is empowered to think creatively. We work hard and we focus, but we don`t do all-nighters or heroic pushes. Grinding yourself into the ground is a fast way to introduce bugs. Life science demands precision; we take our time and we get it right. We use commercial-off-the-shelf solutions when they`re available, and we aren`t afraid to open them up to get to more exacting standards—and if we can`t find it, we build it. We`re completely devoted to solving Transcriptic`s challenges as cleverly as possible to build solid, reliable, intelligent solutions.
CuraSen Therapeutics is focused on the discovery and development of therapies to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson`s Disease, Alzheimer`s Disease and less common neurodegenerative disorders.
