LTZ Therapeutics is an immunotherapy-focused biotech company to develop novel therapies to improve clinical outcomes in patients with cancer and other diseases with an unmet clinical need.
TissueVision Inc. (TVI) is a multi-disciplinary life sciences company offering 3D tissue imaging and analysis solutions for the research market. Our powerful Serial Two-Photon Plus (STP²) platform features stunning high-resolution multispectral datasets and analysis pipelines that create reliable 3D tissue models. The indexed histological sections produced during the STP² process can be further investigated with secondary analyses that run the gamut from standard histological stains to advanced spatial genomics. The final result is rich, multiplexed 3D models that deliver actionable and quantitative results. TVI provides project design, GLP-like documentation, including full protocol and report generation, and quality control review measures of all study-related materials. TVI is a solution provider to help answer research questions in a variety of therapeutic areas, including neuroscience, cancer, neurodegeneration, ophthalmology, and dermatology.
Univercells is a technology company offering novel biomanufacturing platforms, aimed at increasing the availability and affordability of biologics – recombinant proteins and vaccines - for all. Univercells designs innovative production processes to significantly decrease the size of the necessary equipment and facility, for a lower capital and operational cost. The company`s process intensification and integration technology entails smaller footprint and unit cost while offering flexible capabilities, from small to large batches. Deployment of affordable production units enables `in-country, for-country` biologics production, creating value for manufacturers and healthcare systems with cost efficiency and local supply while increasing patients` access to healthcare. Univercells was founded in 2013 by experienced entrepreneurs Hugues Bultot, CEO, and José Castillo, CTO, who bring close to 25 years of expertise in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors. Headquartered in Gosselies (Belgium), Univercells benefits from support from the Walloon region, and received €3 million from Takeda in 2015. Most recently, the company was awarded a $12 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
BELLUS Health is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of chronic cough and other chronic disorders triggered by hypersensitization.
Bamboo was formed to advance the work of Dr. Richard Jude Samulski, the Director of the Gene Therapy Center at the University of North Carolina (UNC), from the laboratory into human clinical trials where it could meet the requirements for drug approval. Dr. Samulski is a pioneer in the field of gene therapy. Over thirty (30) years ago, Dr. Samulski was the first person to realize the potential to use the adeno-associated virus (AAV) as a vehicle to replace a defective gene with a healthy gene. Since that time, he has re-engineered the naturally occurring virus to target delivery to certain tissues, de-target other tissues, and improve its safety. This has resulted in over twenty (20) patents related to the use of AAV for therapeutic uses. Dr. Samulski continues to lead innovation in the field of vector optimization and AAV re-engineering.
