The Broad Institute brings together a diverse group of individuals from across its partner institutions — undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, professional scientists, administrative professionals, and academic faculty. The culture and environment at the Broad is designed to encourage creativity and to engage all participants, regardless of role or seniority, in the mission of the Institute. Within this setting, researchers are empowered — both intellectually and technically — to confront even the most difficult biomedical challenges. The Institute`s organization is unique among biomedical research institutions. It encompasses three types of organizational units: core member laboratories, programs and platforms. Scientists within these units work closely together — and with other collaborators around the world — to tackle critical problems in human biology and disease.
Paragon Biosciences invests in and launches biopharmaceutical companies to develop novel therapies for severe medical conditions which do not yet have adequate treatments. Our mission is to help people live longer, healthier lives. Paragon advances that mission through its contribution of Bioscience Innovation Capital(TM): For rare and complex diseases, Paragon analyzes the viability of potential therapies, invests in new biopharmaceutical companies to further develop promising treatments, catalyzes the progress of its portfolio companies through early-incubation services, and provides clinical and regulatory guidance by a team with a near-perfect track record of first-cycle novel drug approvals.
QurAlis is developing precision therapeutics for ALS, a terminal disease that causes muscle paralysis through degeneration of the motor system. We are digging deep into the root causes of the multiple sub-forms of this destructive disease and focus our programs on tackling specific disease-causing mechanisms.
Exosome Diagnostics is developing biofluid-based molecular diagnostic tests for use in personalized medicine. Exosomes and other microvesicles are shed into all biofluids, including blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid, forming a highly enriched source of intact, disease-specific nucleic acids. The Company`s proprietary exosome technology makes use of this natural enrichment to achieve high sensitivity and specificity for rare gene transcripts and the expression of genes responsible for cancers and other diseases.
