Selexys Pharmaceuticals is a Oklahoma City, OK-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Aerin`s advanced treatment platform utilizes low-power radiofrequency energy to remodel nasal soft tissues and address the underlying cause of nasal congestion. Treatment styluses are uniquely designed for each procedure and deliver energy to the target tissue surface without the need for incisions or tissue penetration.Proprietary algorithms ensure that targeted tissues are exposed to carefully controlled energy resulting in treatment temperatures that are below the tissue ablation range. The technology is protected by a comprehensive patent estate consisting of both method and design patents.
Adventus Group is a Freeport, IL-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
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.
