Synthorx Inc. is a biotechnology company using synthetic biology to discover and develop novel protein therapeutics. Synthorx`s expanded genetic alphabet platform has the unique ability to drive the site-specific incorporation of multiple synthetic amino acids into proteins thereby tuning receptor specificity important for improving efficacy and safety. In addition, their engineered organisms provide the ability to manufacture these improved proteins, called Synthorins, with the required fidelity and yield. The unique Synthorx platform expands the chemical and structural repertoire of protein therapeutics and uncovers new ways to modulate pharmacological properties of biologics, not possible with other technologies. The company was founded based on important discoveries in Dr. Floyd Romesberg`s lab at The Scripps Research Institute in conjunction with Avalon Ventures, which housed Synthorx in its incubator, COI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The company is headquartered in La Jolla, Calif.
Isis Pharmaceuticals Inc is a Carlsbad, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
ABI Inc is a Bedford, OH-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
BioAmber is a renewable chemistry company. We use agricultural crops and transform them into green chemicals that directly substitute chemicals derived from oil. BioAmber combines industrial biotechnology and chemical catalysis into a process that offers a better carbon footprint than petrochemicals. In addition to moving away from petroleum, our process consumes CO2, directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and aiding in the fight against global warming. Bioamber is today the only producer of bio-succinic acid, a chemical building block used in a number of applications, such as plastics, polyurethane, solvents, personal care, plasticisers, etc.
Reflex Photonics Inc. is a Sherbrooke, QC-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
