VenatoRx Pharmaceuticals is a private pharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of novel anti-infective agents to address the threat of antibiotic resistance. The company name, VenatoRx (ven-a-TOR-ex), derives from the latin word “venator”, meaning hunter and “Rx”, the medical symbol for drugs. The pursuit, or “hunt”, for new drugs is the core mission of the company. Located northwest of Philadelphia in Malvern, PA, the company was founded in 2010 by Drs. Burns, Xerri, and Pevear.

Arvinas is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new small molecules ‒ known as PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) ‒ aimed at degrading disease-causing cellular proteins via proteolysis. Based on innovative research conducted at Yale University by Dr. Craig Crews, Founder and Chief Scientific Advisor, the company is translating natural protein degradation approaches into novel drugs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The proprietary PROTAC-based drug paradigm induces protein degradation, rather than protein inhibition, using the ubiquitin proteasome system and offers the advantage of potentially targeting “undruggable” as well as “druggable” elements of the proteome. This greatly expands the ability to create drugs for many new, previously unapproachable targets.
