SAMANI is a Whitestone, NY-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Encodia is developing an innovative Next-Gen digital proteomics platform to enable democratized protein sequencing. Our goal is to make protein sequencing easy and ubiquitous by using a novel reverse-translation technology that turns peptide sequences into DNA. The DNA can be read by an NGS DNA sequencer, providing a path to breakthrough proteomics research at a scale that is not practical or cost-effective using current technologies.
Labquip Ltd is a Woodbridge, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Visterra is a biotechnology company that uses its proprietary Hierotope™ Platform to identify unique disease targets and design and engineer effective therapeutics. The company`s technology is powered by computational tools and techniques, the core of which is Atomic Interaction Network (AIN) analysis, which uniquely identifies an area, or epitope, on the target site that is fundamental to its structure and function. This ideal epitope, or hierotope, becomes the target against which the company designs a novel therapeutic to effectively and durably combat the disease. The company`s lead product candidate, VIS410, is a broad spectrum human monoclonal antibody for the treatment of both seasonal and pandemic influenza, is in a phase 2a clinical trial and expected to enter a phase 2b clinical trial by year end 2017. The company`s second product candidate, VIS649, is a monoclonal antibody engineered to treat IgA nephropathy, a rare chronic kidney disease. In addition, Visterra has established a number of partnerships to progress novel antibodies engineered to treat significant diseases with limited treatment options.
SalioGen Therapeutics is advancing the Exact DNA Integration Technology (EDIT) platform, the only genome engineering technology that is mammal-derived, for use in potentially curative non-viral gene therapy.
