We are The Machine Learning Immunology Company. Seismic Therapeutic is a biotechnology company integrating machine learning across the entire biologics drug discovery and development process. Using our IMPACT™ platform, we are fully integrating machine learning with the key elements of biologics drug discovery – structural biology, protein engineering and translational immunology – to create optimized therapies for patients. Seismic Therapeutic has an emerging pipeline of novel approaches to address adaptive immune system dysregulation to treat autoimmune diseases. The company is backed by a strong syndicate of life sciences investors and is located in the Boston biotechnology hub.
Enzymerx is a Paramus, NJ-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
With a cancer diagnosis, early detection means better outcomes. It means hope. But when it comes to breast cancer, more than half of women have a reduced opportunity for an early, life-saving diagnosis. That`s why we`re developing Syantra DX: a blood test to detect breast cancer. It`s a revolutionary, rapid, economical approach to breast cancer screening that`s accurate regardless of the test recipient`s family history, age or tissue density.
At LAVA, we are focused on applying our expertise in gamma-delta T-cell engagers (TCEs) to transform cancer therapy. We refer to our compounds as gamma-delta bispecific T-cell engagers, or gamma-delta bsTCEs. Our platform generates therapeutics that specifically activate a unique and relatively abundant effector gamma-delta T-cell subset called Vγ9Vδ2 (Vgamma9-Vdelta2) T-cells that have the ability to trigger activity of immune cells of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Our gamma-delta bsTCEs have demonstrated superior efficacy and safety profiles compared to other bsTCE approaches in preclinical studies and show preferential activity against tumor cells thereby potentially limiting toxicity in healthy tissue. To date, we are the only company developing bispecific gamma-delta T-cell engaging antibodies for the treatment of cancer. We are building a pipeline of gamma-delta bsTCEs that have applications in both solid and hematologic malignancies. Our lead program, LAVA-051, targets the tumor specific antigen CD1d, which can be overexpressed in multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), among other tumor types. LAVA-051 will enter a Phase I/IIa study in 1Q21.
