Alexza Pharmaceuticals, located in Mountain View, CA, is focused on the research, development and commercialization of novel, proprietary products for the acute treatment of central nervous system conditions. Alexza`s products are based on the Staccato system, a hand-held inhaler designed to deliver a drug aerosol to the deep lung, providing rapid systemic delivery and therapeutic onset, in a simple, non-invasive manner.

Exonics Therapeutics

Exonics Therapeutics was launched in February 2017 to advance the research of our scientific founder, Dr. Eric Olson and his laboratory at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) to develop treatments for patients with neuromuscular diseases. Dr. Olson is one of the world’s leading experts in the study of muscle cells and the application of gene editing to treat these types of diseases. In particular, Dr. Olson’s laboratory has used adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver a CRISPR/Cas9 technology that can identify and repair exon mutations to restore the production of dystrophin, a protein that helps stabilize and protect muscle fibers. Dystrophin is the protein missing in boys with Duchenne. The loss of dystrophin causes Duchenne.

BioHiTech

BioHitech America is the industry leader in the development of a simple, cost-effective food waste disposal technology designed to solve today’s landfill diversion and sustainability objectives. The Eco-Safe Digester handles food waste at the point of generation, no residual food waste to store or transport. The Eco-Safe Digester can convert up to 2,400 pounds of food waster per day into a nutrient-neutral grey water that can safely be disposed of via municipal sewer systems. The Eco-Safe Digester saves money by avoiding disposal costs and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by providing a sustainable means of transportation for the waste by-product with doesn’t require on-road transportation. The Eco-Safe Digester’s cloud-based management solution is designed to measure and collect food waste data. It correlates information to report cost savings and environmental reductions as well as communicate opportunities to prevent waste altogether. This modifiable data can also be used to assess the performance of your staff and predict trends for smarter budgeting and purchasing purposes. In addition to diverting food waste from landfills and converting food waste into a resource, the machine is now poised for significant growth in this emerging data-driven zero waste initiative climate because it identifies waste in order to prevent the creation of it all together. Already implemented in many applications across the globe, the Eco-Safe Digester is ideal for use in any food service, hospitality, healthcare, government, conference center, education center, or stadium that generates a high volume of waste.
