Pliant Therapeutics is focused on discovering, developing and commercializing breakthrough treatments for fibrotic diseases. By harnessing the therapeutic potential of integrin biology and TGF-β modulation, Pliant aims to prevent or even reverse fibrosis to address the needs of many patients. The company also aims to build a patient registry for certain areas of fibrotic disease to both increase understanding of natural disease progression, and fuel biomarker discovery. Pliant`s co-founders include world-renowned researchers from University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), who bring broad experience in fibrosis biology and small molecule chemistry. Together, the Pliant team is dedicated to translating scientific advances in fibrosis biology into novel therapies for patients in need.

Edesa Biotech, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative ways to treat inflammatory and immune-related diseases. Our most advanced drug candidate is EB05 (paridiprubart), a monoclonal antibody developed for acute and chronic disease indications that involve dysregulated innate immune responses. Edesa is currently evaluating EB05 in a Phase 3 study as a potential treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a life-threatening form of respiratory failure. In addition, Edesa is developing an sPLA2 inhibitor, EB01, as a topical treatment for chronic Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD), a common occupational skin condition. The company has also received regulatory approval to conduct a Phase 2 trial its EB06 monoclonal antibody as a treatment for vitiligo, a life-altering autoimmune disease that causes skin to lose its color in patches. We also are planning a future Phase 2 study of paridiprubart for systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), an autoimmune rheumatic disorder that causes fibrosis (scarring/hardening) of skin and internal organs.
Cellular Dynamics International, Inc. develops and manufactures human cells in the United States of America, Europe, Japan, and internationally. The company’s proprietary iCell Operating System comprises human cells in multiple cell types (iCell products), human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and custom iPSCs and iCell products (MyCell products). It offers iCell Cardiomyocytes, which are purified human heart cells that beat in a dish and behave just like the heart cells found in the human body for in vitro drug discovery, toxicity testing, and chemical safety, as well as in vivo cellular therapeutics research and development, and stem cell banking; and iCell Neurons that are purified human neurons typical of the forebrain for pre-clinical drug discovery, neurotoxicity testing, and disease modeling for Alzheimer’s diseases, Parkinson’s diseases, Huntington’s diseases, and others. The company also provides iCell Endothelial cells, which are interior surface blood vessel cells for use in vascular biology research, such as angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, inflammation, and other life science research; and iCell Hepatocytes that are human liver cells for pre-clinical drug discovery, hepatotoxicity testing, disease modeling, and other life science research. In addition, it offers MyCell products for making iPSCs for stem cell banking, cell modeling of specific ethnic or disease populations, and genetic engineering for in vitro research; and media and reprogramming kits for making iPSCs for limited research use. The company serves biopharmaceutical companies, government research institutions, academic and nonprofit research institutions, contract research organizations, and stem cell banks. Cellular Dynamics International, Inc. was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin.
