Empirico is a venture-backed, next-generation therapeutics company founded on utilizing huge biological data sets, human genetics and programmable biology to power novel target discovery and development.
Mirna Therapeutics, Inc. (Mirna) is a biotechnology research and development company focused on miRNA-directed oncology therapies. Featuring world-class research capabilities, a strong understanding of miRNA and cancer biology, and a broad IP portfolio, Mirna Therapeutics is well-positioned to capitalize on the emerging field of miRNA-based therapeutics.
Shoreline Biosciences is a biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation cellular immunotherapies based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) utilizing its proprietary iPSC-derived natural killer (iNK) cell and macrophage (iMACs) platforms. The company`s cellular design technologies are built on a deep understanding of iPSC differentiation, immune cell biology and genetic engineering that enable the development of specific effector cell types, including iNK cells and iMACs as allogeneic "off-the-shelf" cellular immunotherapies designed for durability, scalability, safety, and efficacy. Shoreline is advancing a pipeline of programs towards the clinic, on its own and with its strategic partners, Kite, a Gilead Company, and BeiGene, a global pharmaceutical company. Shoreline Biosciences is headquartered in San Diego, CA.
Cibus is part of the multi-billion-dollar plant seed industry. Cibus leads the new era of high throughput gene editing technology that can develop plant traits precisely at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional breeding. Cibus is not a seed company. We are a technology company that uses gene editing to develop plant traits. Cibus licenses its traits to seed companies for royalties on seeds that use its traits. Cibus` target market is Productivity Traits” that improve yields, lower input costs such as chemicals and increase the sustainability and profitability of farming. We has a pipeline of six productivity traits including traits for pod shatter reduction, disease resistance and nutrient use efficiency. Cibus` focus is multi-crop traits for the major crops: canola, rice, soybean, wheat, and corn. In other words, traits that can impact global agriculture sustainability at scale. Technology: Gene editing in agriculture is a plant breeding technology. The promise of gene editing in agriculture is the ability to develop plant traits that are indistinguishable from traits developed using conventional breeding but can be developed at a fraction of the time and cost. To many, gene editing represents agriculture`s “analog to digital” technology moment. It is a technology that changes the speed and scale of trait development. Cibus is at the forefront of this technology moment. Our Rapid Trait Development System™ (RTDS®) and Trait Machine™ process represents the first end-to-end semi-automated plant breeding system. Vision: Cibus` vision is to be a pure play trait developer; a technology company whose business is to develop and license plant traits to seed companies in exchange for royalties. The licensing of plant traits and germplasm with quantifiable benefits and strong intellectual property is an integral part of the seed industry. Our goal is to be a leader in this segment of the seed industry.
Invicro, A Konica Minolta Company, was founded with a mission of improving the role and function of imaging in translational drug discovery and development. To this effort we offer a suite of services and software with applications ranging from tissue to human, from target identification to Phase IV trials across the entire electromagnetic spectrum of imaging techniques. We start all projects with a data-driven mentality and the knowledge that quality data are the key to solving scientific challenges. Our analytics team is constantly innovating to develop the processes by which true and valuable quantitative information is extracted. Our approach has always been one of a scientific partner and collaborator, offering the service of our 200+ researchers on our team from a broad array of disciplines.
