Personal Genome Diagnostics (PGDx) is empowering the fight against cancer by unlocking actionable information from the genome. We are committed to developing a portfolio of regulated tissue-based and liquid biopsy genomic products for laboratories worldwide. Our expertise in advanced cancer genome analysis ranges from sample preparation and sequencing to data interpretation and analysis. We specialize in high-throughput next-generation sequencing, proprietary algorithms to identify alterations in complex cancer genomes and have developed novel technologies for non-invasive approaches in cancer. PGDx was founded in 2010 by Luis Diaz and Victor Velculescu to help bring novel diagnostic approaches to patients with cancer. They are internationally recognized leaders in cancer genomics who have extensive experience in the application of innovative genomic technologies for drug development and clinical practice.
Better Therapeutics ("Better") is developing first-in-class prescription digital therapeutics to deliver behavioral therapy to patients. Led by an experienced team of biotechnology executives with funding from top-tier industry investors, Better expects to go public through a merger with SPAC Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: MCAD) during the summer of 2021. Better was founded upon the realization that nearly half a trillion dollars are spent each year treating the symptoms or effects of cardiometabolic diseases while little is being done to address the behaviors that cause them. Better has created prescription software that it believes has the opportunity to fundamentally change the treatment of a broad range of cardiometabolic diseases beginning with type 2 diabetes. The team is focused on creating significant patient impact through the launch of their first product in 2023. Better is developing a portfolio of regulated software products that treat the root causes of disease, improving the health and quality of life of patients while giving providers and payers access to cost-effective digital behavior therapies.
BellBrook Labs is a Madison, WI-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Partner Therapeutics is devoted to developing and commercializing cancer medicines and combination therapies that can make a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer patients.
Exicure is developing a new class of immunomodulatory and gene silencing drugs against validated targets. Our 3-dimensional, spherical nucleic acid (SNA™) architecture unlocks the potential of nucleic acid therapeutics in multiple organs. Our lead programs address diseases from inflammatory disorders to oncology. SNA constructs overcome one of the most difficult obstacles to nucleic acid therapeutics: safe and effective delivery into cells and tissues. SNA constructs exhibit unparalleled transfection efficiency into numerous cell and tissue types including the skin without carriers or transfection agents. Moreover, SNAs can be used as potent immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or infectious disease.
