Founded by Longwood Fund, Pyxis Oncology is building a differentiated portfolio of biologics, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and immunotherapies, to improve the lives of patients with difficult-to-treat cancers. Pyxis is employing site-specific conjugation technology to develop highly stable ADCs with enhanced therapeutic indexes. Pyxis is also advancing a diverse portfolio of immunotherapies that target broad immune regulators as well as novel immune checkpoints identified through its immuno-oncology and cold tumor discovery efforts.
Amlan International is the animal health business of Oil-Dri® Corporation of America, a leader in sorbent mineral technology. Amlan leverages Oil-Dri`s 80-plus years of mineral science expertise to develop proprietary, mineral-based feed additives that support optimal intestinal health while adding value for animal protein producers. The core of our feed additives is our natural mineral ingredient that contains high-capacity opal-CT lepispheres and undergoes proprietary thermal processing specifically tailored for each product. We also create synergistic blends of our mineral with other feed ingredients that further support normal gut function and digestive processes. Oil-Dri and the single-source mineral used in Amlan products are based in the USA, and because Amlan and Oil-Dri are vertically integrated, we control the quality, reliability, and safety of the mineral — from mine to feed bag. We do this by following sustainable mining practices and through the use of natural ingredients in our products. Our mineral-based feed additives meet the demands for cleaner food while reducing the inputs needed to raise production animals, helping to decrease the cost and environmental impact of poultry and livestock production. Leading integrators and producers worldwide trust our products to support animal intestinal health and add value to their operations. You can, too.
Verseau is creating a new class of therapeutics, macrophage checkpoint modulators, to benefit patients with cancer, immune and inflammatory diseases.
MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.
