Spotlight Therapeutics is a venture funded early-stage biotechnology company with a mission to develop a new class of therapeutics by enabling direct in vivo gene editing. Founded by Alex Marson (UCSF), Jacob Corn (UC Berkeley), and Patrick Hsu (Salk Institute) in December of 2017, Spotlight is building its core technology platform to achieve precise in vivo gene editing in targeted cell populations. With a therapeutic focus centered on oncology, our engineered nucleases edit the genes in targeted disease organs thereby inactivating or altering the gene product. We are hiring rapidly to build out our cutting-edge research and development team. This team is responsible for preclinical development ranging from protein engineering, gene editing to immuno-oncology and in vivo safety studies. Join us and work on the next generation of gene editing therapeutics in a fast-paced and exciting environment.
HealthLoop automates patient engagement to help health providers reduce cost, improve outcomes and deliver a 5-star patient experience. Reassuring guidance each step of the way connects care teams with patients who need it most. HealthLoop enables value-based care for hospitals to monitor at-risk populations, provide outreach when most needed and track patients through an episode of care. Patients rate their doctors with a 5-star experience and providers realize better efficiencies with an automated patient check-in approach. Located in Mountain View, HealthLoop facilitates over 25,000 automated check-ins each month.
Perseus is a Washington, DC-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Taysha Gene Therapies is on a mission to eradicate monogenic CNS disease. With a singular focus on developing curative medicines, we hope to rapidly translate our treatments from bench to bedside. We have combined our team`s proven experience in gene therapy drug development and commercialization with the world-class UT Southwestern Gene Therapy Program to quickly and efficiently build an extensive, AAV gene therapy pipeline focused on both rare and large-market indications. Together, we leverage our fully integrated platform—an engine for new cures—to dramatically improve patients` lives.
Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral stability characteristics onto them. The platform has been optimized over the years and involves synergistic integration of rational drug design, diversity oriented computational tools, phage display libraries, recombinant peptide expression, ex vivo oral stability methods, and peptide/medicinal chemistry techniques. This activity has led to the identification of ‘privileged scaffolds’ with favorable oral stability characteristics. Furthermore, the technology platform is well suited both for de novo discovery against a target and optimization around a given chemical starting point.
