Symic Biomedical

www.symic.bio

 
Symic is developing a new category of therapeutics that offer an exciting and biologically innovative approach to treating disease. While it is clear that cells play an important role in tissue inflammation and regeneration, it is also known that the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an equally critical role in maintaining healthy tissue. The ECM is the non-cellular component of the body’s tissues, and proteoglycans are important structural and functional macromolecules native to the ECM that are known to protect against tissue degradation and promote healing during illness or injury. Recognizing the importance of proteoglycans in many acute and chronic disease states, ...

Revolution Medicines

The mission of REVOLUTION Medicines is redesigning evolution`s products to treat serious diseases. The company discovers and develops new drugs by reconfiguring natural substances that are inherently rich with biological function as a result of natural selection. The company`s first drug candidates are innovative small molecules that exploit and improve upon the properties of amphotericin B, a powerful, broad-spectrum antifungal compound found in nature that has avoided generating significant drug resistance in 50 years of clinical use. Headquartered in Redwood City, Calif. at the intersection of Silicon Valley and the birthplace of biotechnology, REVOLUTION Medicines is a private company financed by top-tier investor Third Rock Ventures.

Pneuma Respiratory

Founded in 2015, Pneuma Respiratory is focused on creating therapeutic treatments for diseases of the lungs using a digital first platform for inhaled drug delivery. Our focus is to improve the potential effectiveness of currently available and novel drugs, with the initial targets being approved therapeutics for asthma and COPD. Pneuma is leveraging more than three decades of healthcare research and product development experience along with hand held device design and manufacturing expertise.

Generex

Generex Biotechnology has been engaged primarily in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus has been our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a handheld aerosol applicator. Generex Biotechnology has a two business focuses: 1) implementing an acquisition strategy and 2) financing sponsored clinical trials. We are positioning ourselves as a diversified holding company involved in increasing our "pipeline" of compounds, therapies, treatments, diagnostics, and technologies in all stages in the FDA process through accretive acquisitions. We are also strategically aligning ourselves with the global biopharmaceutical companies by providing a financing solution to them as sponsors of clinical trials, which are conducted by patient care providers (PCPs) such as hospitals, medical research institutes, centers, and clinics.

Aravive

Aravive, Inc., is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing new therapies that target important survival pathways for both solid tumors as well as hematologic malignancies. Our primary therapeutic focus is the GAS6-AXL pathway, where AXL receptor signaling plays a critical role in multiple types of malignancies by promoting metastasis and cancer cell survival. Our technology, originated in the laboratories of Drs. Amato Giaccia and his colleagues at Stanford University, uses genetic screening to identify critical targets for the development of therapeutic molecules for cancer therapy while sparing healthy cells. This strategy is designed to enable us to interrupt oncogenic signals and, using our high-affinity decoy receptors, outcompete cancer`s ability to grow, metastasize and acquire resistance to treatments. We believe our unique cancer therapies may hold promise as a monotherapy or in combination with other cancer treatments, augmenting the anti-tumor activity of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immuno-therapeutics and cancer vaccines. By targeting advanced or metastatic disease, our approach has the potential to significantly improve survival rates while simultaneously reducing toxicity in cancer patients.
