Forge Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing novel medicines by combining bio-inorganic with medicinal chemistry to target metalloproteins. Forge has developed a fundamentally new approach for the discovery of metalloprotein inhibitors by focusing first on the metal in the enzyme active site.
eGenesis is revolutionizing the field of transplantation with an unparalleled, multiplexed gene editing platform for the development of human-compatible organs, tissues and cells. Harnessing the latest gene-editing techniques, eGenesis has the capability to solve the global organ crisis by providing an alternative to allotransplantation. eGenesis is uniquely positioned to reinvigorate the field of xenotransplantation by addressing both the key virology and immunology hurdles that have impeded its advancement to date and provide commercially-viable products to save and enhance the lives of patients in need.
Genoa is a biopharma company committed to developing improved therapies for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other severe respiratory diseases. Our lead asset is inhaled pirfenidone (Aerodone™) for the treatment of IPF. With offices in Seattle and San Diego, Genoa`s experienced clinical and inhaled product development team is rapidly advancing Aerodone for the treatment of IPF and additional pipeline candidates for IPF and other severe respiratory diseases.
Pervasis Therapeutics Inc is a Cambridge, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies aims to disrupt the paradigm of biological analysis. Our technology and commercial model has already opened up DNA analysis to researchers who previously had no direct access to sequencing technologies, freeing them up to perform analyses in their own labs, in real time or in the field. Over time, the technology will continue to improve, new form factors of the technology will be introduced and workflows will be further simplified by new preparation techniques or analysis workflows. This technology pathway is designed to enable the analysis of any living thing, by any person, in any environment. Oxford Nanopore has developed the worlds first and only nanopore DNA sequencer, the MinION. The MinION is a portable, real time, long-read, low cost device that has been designed to bring easy biological analyses to anyone, whether in scientific research, education or a range of real world applications such as disease/pathogen surveillance, environmental monitoring, food chain surveillance, self-quantification or even microgravity biology. Commercially available since 2015, the MinION is in use by a thriving community of scientists in >50 countries, where it is enabling myriad applications within the traditional laboratory environment and in the field. Nanopore sensing technology is fully scalable. The GridION X5 is a desktop device that includes compute module and the ability to run up to five MinION Flow Cells. The the high-throughput/sample number PromethION is currently being released in the PromethION Early Access Programme (PEAP). Oxford Nanopore is focused on making DNA based analyses easy enough for any user and so we are working to simplify the sample preparation and data analysis processes. For sample preparation this includes a 5-10 minute sample prep kit, and VolTRAX (in development), a rapid, programmable, portable, disposable sample preparation device designed to prepare DNA for addition to a nanopore sequencing device.
