The future is different. We are building sensing and thinking machines, with synthetic neurobiology at its core. Machines with extremely dense sensing and computation based on carbon. In our systems, everything can be engineered with care for sustainab...
Dendreon is a biotechnology company with a singular mission: to harness the power of the body`s immune system to safely improve and extend the lives of people battling cancer. Dendreon`s PROVENGE® (sipuleucel-T), which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2010, is the only cellular immunotherapy cancer treatment available. Dendreon is working to expand the application of its technology to discover, develop, manufacture and market additional product candidates for a variety of cancers in the future. Dendreon headquarters are in in Seal Beach, California.
Tango Therapeutics is a biotechnology company discovering and developing novel medicines targeting cancer vulnerabilities to deliver transformational new therapies for patients. Tango was launched in 2017 with a $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures. The company has established a robust product engine that leverages advances in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery to generate breakthrough medicines that have the potential to provide deeper, more sustained benefit than today`s targeted therapies, and extend the benefit of available immuno-oncology agents. Tango Therapeutics is focused on three areas of drug development, each in well-defined patient populations currently lacking effective treatment options, and each with hallmarks of cancer that have not been targeted yet. These include: loss of tumor suppressor gene function; multiple oncogenic drivers; and immune evasion. What fuels each of Tango`s programs is an increasingly sophisticated ability to utilize synthetic lethality - the interaction between two genes that causes cell death when both are inactivated. In cancer cells, one of these genes is inactivated by mutation; the other will be inactivated by a drug. This approach leaves normal cells largely unaffected, with the potential to greatly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and reduce associated toxicity. Tango`s success will be driven by its depth of understanding of the genetic subtypes of cancer, and corresponding insights into novel drug targets and combinations uniquely relevant to each subtype. By shaping discovery efforts in this way, Tango has the potential to reach the clinic quickly, and with a clear plan for identifying the patients most likely to benefit from each new treatment, an approach that could increase both speed and probability of success in translating novel target discoveries into transformational new medicines for patients.
Alphora Research Inc is a Mississauga, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
jCyte is a clinical-stage company focused on the application of progenitor cell-based technology in retinal diseases. The Company`s allogeneic product candidate, jCell, is delivered by simple intravitreal injection without the need for surgery or immune suppression. jCyte has completed a phase 1/2a, phase 1/2a extension and phase 2b clinical trials testing jCell in patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa.
