Lycera is a biopharmaceutical company that seeks to uncover new small molecule therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. Our approach builds on an in-depth understanding of the orchestration of immune response in disease progression. When working correctly, the immune system can respond aggressively and with precise targeting to eliminate infectious pathogens or cancer cells. Incorrect regulation can cause the immune system to attack healthy tissue as foreign, supporting onset and progression of autoimmune disease while disruption of anti-tumor immune responses can shield cancer cells from the immune system and allow them to proliferate. Lycera is rapidly building a portfolio of selective immune modulators with mechanisms we believe will translate into improved outcomes for patients. With senior leadership and a team of scientists who represent the best of their fields, Lycera has the expertise and insight necessary to develop innovative therapies able to restore immune balance and significantly improve treatment for patients affected by these diseases around the world. Lycera product development programs are enhanced by our established global relationships with many leading chemists, scientists and clinical researchers. We are currently advancing novel small molecule compounds from distinct, yet complementary, areas of research, including immune metabolism, cell signaling and immune cell differentiation.
Cerecin is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of drugs to treat diseases of the brain. Cerecin`s development program leverages its extensive experience in lipid science to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of medium-chain triglycerides. Cerecin is led by an expert executive management team with strong global expertise in central nervous system drug development and is supported by two partners, Nestlé, and Wilmar, one of the world`s leading manufacturers of fatty acids and lipids. Bringing together the deep industry expertise of its leadership team, and a highly differentiated drug development program, Cerecin is becoming a global leader in neurology therapeutics.
Imara Inc. is dedicated to developing novel therapeutics for people living with sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. Sickle cell disease is a rare, genetic blood disease that causes red blood cells to sickle and become damaged, activating immune cells and blocking blood flow in capillaries, injuring many organs and causing daily pain. Imara is developing IMR-687, a highly selective, potent small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9i), to treat patients with sickle cell disease. Imara was launched following an 18-month scientific collaboration between orphan drug accelerator Cydan Development and H. Lundbeck A/S.
Founded in 2017, Unlearn.AI brings together a world-class team of experts across pharma, physics, machine learning, and business who share a vision of pioneering AI to eliminate trial and error in medicine. Unlearn is the only company creating TwinRCTsTM, which combine AI, prognostic digital twins, and novel statistical methods to run clinical trials requiring fewer patients in the control arm. Unlearn`s technology is used by leading global pharmaceutical companies, including Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, and has been published in conference abstracts and scientific journals, including Scientific Reports - Nature and The International Journal of Biostatistics. The European Medicines Agency qualifies Unlearn`s PROCOVA™ procedure, which provides the regulatory framework for the application of TwinRCTs to Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials.
