Tango Therapeutics

Tango Therapeutics is a biotechnology company discovering and developing novel medicines targeting cancer vulnerabilities to deliver transformational new therapies for patients. Tango was launched in 2017 with a $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures. The company has established a robust product engine that leverages advances in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery to generate breakthrough medicines that have the potential to provide deeper, more sustained benefit than today`s targeted therapies, and extend the benefit of available immuno-oncology agents. Tango Therapeutics is focused on three areas of drug development, each in well-defined patient populations currently lacking effective treatment options, and each with hallmarks of cancer that have not been targeted yet. These include: loss of tumor suppressor gene function; multiple oncogenic drivers; and immune evasion. What fuels each of Tango`s programs is an increasingly sophisticated ability to utilize synthetic lethality - the interaction between two genes that causes cell death when both are inactivated. In cancer cells, one of these genes is inactivated by mutation; the other will be inactivated by a drug. This approach leaves normal cells largely unaffected, with the potential to greatly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and reduce associated toxicity. Tango`s success will be driven by its depth of understanding of the genetic subtypes of cancer, and corresponding insights into novel drug targets and combinations uniquely relevant to each subtype. By shaping discovery efforts in this way, Tango has the potential to reach the clinic quickly, and with a clear plan for identifying the patients most likely to benefit from each new treatment, an approach that could increase both speed and probability of success in translating novel target discoveries into transformational new medicines for patients.

Dyadic

Dyadic uses its proprietary C1 platform technology to discover and develop novel genes and other biological products from eukaryotic organisms found in the full spectrum of the earth’s biodiversity. Once useful genes are isolated, Dyadic uses its integrated platform to manufacture specific proteins, doing so more rapidly and efficiently — and with a much higher rate of success than existing gene discovery systems. Dyadic leverages its proprietary technology platform to discover novel genes and biological products for use by its strategic partners, and to further its own R&D efforts. Dyadic seeks strategic alliances with major leaders in the agricultural, bioenergy, industrial enzyme, chemical and biopharmaceutical industries that have in-house genomic capabilities. Dyadic will also collaborate with companies whose genomic capabilities are limited, discovering and expressing biological materials for these strategic partners. In addition, Dyadic, using these proprietary systems, will continue to commercialize enzymes for use in targeted markets, including the animal nutrition, detergent, ethanol, pulp and paper, biopharmaceutical, starch and textile industries. Dyadic expects to generate revenue from its product sales, revenue generated from research and development services and funding as well as revenue generated from licensing and other strategic collaborations in the form of milestone and royalty payments.
