Beam Therapeutics, launched in 2018, is pioneering the use of CRISPR base editing to develop a broad portfolio of advanced genetic medicines. Our groundbreaking base editing technology allows us to make permanent, specific edits to single bases in DNA and RNA, without cutting the strands. Base editor therapeutics represent a new class of “precision genetic medicines,” combining precision targeting of the genome with precision control of editing outcomes. Our dream is to provide life-long cures for patients suffering from serious diseases. The Beam Team Is: • A community of fearless innovators • Rigorous and honest in our research • Listening with open minds • Committed to each other
Deciphera Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of cancer patients by tackling key mechanisms of drug resistance that limit the effectiveness of many cancer therapies. Our small molecule drug candidates are directed against an important family of enzymes called kinases, known to be directly involved in the growth and spread of many cancers. We use our deep understanding of kinase biology together with a proprietary chemistry library to purposefully design compounds that maintain kinases in a “switched off” or inactivated conformation. Deciphera has developed a diverse pipeline of drug candidates designed to improve outcomes for patients with cancer by enhancing the quality, rate and/or durability of their responses to treatment.
Virpax`s lead product candidate, Probudur, is being developed using our proprietary liposomal encapsulation to deliver a sustain release of local anesthetic at the wound/incision site to control post-operative pain for 96 hours. We have executed Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA), as well as the National Institute of Health/NCATS; U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research/Department of Defense to develop differentiated non-addictive treatment options and the Epilepsy Therapy Screening Program (ETSP) which is focused on focused on addressing drug resistant epilepsy, disease prevention and modification. The three products in development are targeting unmet global needs in three separate multi-billion-dollar markets, including rare diseases. Our proprietary drug-delivery-platforms have been developed to optimize the efficacy of nonaddictive medications to manage Post Operative Pain, Severe Pain, Post Cancer Pain, PTSD, and Rare Pediatric Epilepsy including Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) and Dravet Syndrome (Orphan Diseases)
