KalVista is a clinical stage pharmaceuticals company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of small molecule protease inhibitors.
Yumanity Therapeutics is transforming drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases caused by protein misfolding. Despite the fact that an estimated 50 million people worldwide suffer from diseases affecting the brain and central nervous system, there are no approved disease-modifying therapies or cures. Yumanity is working to identify and develop new, disease-modifying therapies that address several illnesses with critical unmet medical needs, including Alzheimer`s disease, Parkinson`s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The company`s approach concentrates on correcting the cellular pathologies driven by misfolded proteins, the altered biology or phenotypes driving these diseases. Yumanity Therapeutics was founded in December 2014 by Susan Lindquist, Ph.D., award-winning protein folding expert, and Tony Coles, M.D., a renowned biotech industry leader. The company`s proprietary platforms have already identified one potential new target for treating Parkinson`s disease, and Yumanity is actively advancing its new chemical lead series for this condition, as well as identifying additional compounds for Alzheimer`s disease and ALS. Targeting the underlying protein pathology of neurodegenerative diseases allows the company to discover therapies that may modify the root cause of these rather than only addressing their symptoms.
deCODE genetics is one of the leading companies in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Magenta Therapeutics is a biotechnology company harnessing the power of stem cell science to revolutionize stem cell transplantation for patients with immune and blood based diseases.
BPGbio is a clinical-stage biopharma reimagining how patient biology can be modeled using unbiased AI algorithms, to accelerate and de-risk the process of drug discovery for humanity. Our Interrogative Biology® platform has produced and guided development of more than a dozen therapeutics and diagnostics candidates in the areas of oncology, neurology and rare diseases, including several in advanced clinical stages. As BPGbio continues to expand our biobank, and the network insights that are derived from it, we anticipate more promising discoveries made with improved time and cost efficiency.
