Celladon is a privately held biotechnology company founded with the goal of developing molecular therapies for cardiovascular diseases. Breakthroughs in the basic understanding of the cardiovascular networks combined with powerful new technologies have provided the foundation for new, rational, and technologically sophisticated approaches to cardiovascular treatments. Our first product candidate is designed to target the key enzyme deficiency in advanced heart failure which regulates calcium cycling and contractility in heart muscle cells.
BioAmber is a renewable chemistry company. We use agricultural crops and transform them into green chemicals that directly substitute chemicals derived from oil. BioAmber combines industrial biotechnology and chemical catalysis into a process that offers a better carbon footprint than petrochemicals. In addition to moving away from petroleum, our process consumes CO2, directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and aiding in the fight against global warming. Bioamber is today the only producer of bio-succinic acid, a chemical building block used in a number of applications, such as plastics, polyurethane, solvents, personal care, plasticisers, etc.
Orchestra BioMed is a biomedical innovation company providing high-impact solutions for large unmet needs in procedure-based medicine.
Bioinformatics.org is a Framingham, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Lineage Cell Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel cell therapies for unmet medical needs. Lineage`s programs are based on its proprietary cell-based therapy platform and associated development and manufacturing capabilities. With this platform Lineage develops and manufactures specialized, terminally-differentiated human cells from its pluripotent and progenitor cell starting materials. These differentiated cells are developed either to replace or support cells that are dysfunctional or absent due to degenerative disease or traumatic injury or administered as a means of helping the body mount an effective immune response to cancer. Lineage`s clinical assets include (i) OpRegen®, a retinal pigment epithelium transplant therapy in Phase I/IIa development for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in the developed world; (ii) OPC1, an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell therapy in Phase I/IIa development for the treatment of acute spinal cord injuries; and (iii) VAC2, an allogeneic cancer immunotherapy of antigen-presenting dendritic cells currently in Phase I development for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
