Walking Fish Therapeutics, Inc. is a privately held biotechnology company discovering and developing innovative therapeutics that harness the power of B cells as protein factories and immune modulators. Walking Fish has created a broad technology platform addressing enzyme replacement therapies, oncology, autoimmune disease, and recombinant antibody production. The company`s first program, WFX-001, employs B cells as protein factories to generate a deficient enzyme in Fabry disease. Founded in 2019 by Lewis (Rusty) Williams, MD, PhD, the former CSO of Chiron, co-founder of Cor Therapeutics and founder and Chief Executive Officer of Five Prime Therapeutics, the company has assembled a diverse and experienced team of scientists and business leaders who are committed to bringing life-changing and life-saving therapeutics to patients worldwide.
Small molecule protein degraders are set to reshape the way by which diseases will be treated. Our rational approach in targeting disease-causing proteins for degradation will deliver pioneering therapies for cancer and beyond. Headquartered in Boston with additional laboratory facilities in Basel, Monte Rosa Therapeutics is a private company launched in 2020. Initially seeded by Versant Ventures and incubated at Ridgeline Discovery in Basel, and The Institute of Cancer Research in London, Monte Rosa has raised $32.5 million from Versant and New Enterprise Associates. Academic co-founders are Prof. Raj Chopra and Prof. Ian Collins of The Institute for Cancer Research, UK.
Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel RNA-modulating drug candidates that are designed to treat rare and ultra-rare premature stop codon diseases. Premature stop codons are point mutations that disrupt protein synthesis from messenger RNA. As a consequence, patients with premature stop codon diseases have reduced or eliminated protein production from the mutation bearing allele accounting for some of the most severe phenotypes in these genetic diseases. These premature stop codons have been identified in over 1,800 rare and ultra-rare diseases. Read-through therapeutic development is focused on extending mRNA half-life and increasing protein synthesis by enabling the cytoplasmic ribosome to read through premature stop codons to produce full-length proteins. Eloxx`s lead product candidate, ELX-02, is a small molecule drug candidate designed to restore production of full-length functional proteins. ELX-02 is in the early stages of clinical development focusing on cystic fibrosis and cystinosis. ELX-02 is an investigational drug that has not been approved by any global regulatory body. Eloxx is headquartered in Waltham, MA, with R&D operations in Rehovot, Israel.
