MindLinc: Duke University BHI is a Durham, NC-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Be Biopharma is a leader in developing B cells as medicines, treating disease with the human body`s native protein factories. We precisely engineer B cells to harness their intrinsic drug-like properties – remarkable protein production, selective tissue targeting, and fine control of their cellular environment – to forge a new category of cell therapy. These medicines are designed to be durable, allogeneic, re-dosable, and administered without toxic conditioning, creating new avenues to halt or reverse severe diseases like cancer, autoimmune conditions, and enzyme deficiency. Founded by Longwood Fund and B cell engineering pioneers David Rawlings, M.D., and Richard James, Ph.D., Be Biopharma is re-imagining medicine based on the power of B cell therapy. Be Bio was founded in October 2020 by Longwood Fund with a $52 million Series A investment led by Atlas Ventures and RA Capital, joined by Alta Partners and Takeda Ventures.
TYME, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company focused on creating medicines that specialize in using the body’s immune system to treat diseases. The body has the ability to fight off major diseases and heal itself. Tyme is researching a mechanism that it believes may work alongside the body’s immune system to fight Stage IV Metastatic Cancer. Tyme hopes to provide a novel compound for physicians to use in a treatment regimen for patients fighting six major cancers (breast, lung, prostrate, gastric, esophageal and pancreatic cancers) responsible for 62% of the annual cancer deaths in the United States. The SM-88, Tyme’s proprietary compound, is a novel compound that has the potential to alter defenses to oxidative stress and increase free radical availability to the cancer cell. SM-88 is designed to penetrate the living cancer cells and introduce multiple mechanisms to kill the cell. Inducing transfer of electrons in the cancer cells may allow catalyzed external free radicals to react and stress the cell. SM-88 is a combination of low dose agents used for non-cancer treatment.
