IconOVir Bio is a preclinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the next generation of oncolytic virus therapy to improve the treatment of patients with cancer. Our proprietary oncolytic virus platform is based on technology developed by scientific founder Clodagh O`Shea, Ph.D., of the Salk Institute. It is designed to address key limitations of first- and second-generation oncolytic viruses.
What if we told you that our bodies make use of only a few hundred different signaling pathways to control all of our 20,000 or so genes. We call it the gene circuitry code, unique for every gene in our body. CAMP4 has built a proprietary 4-D Gene Circuity Platform to codify the discrete set of combinatorial rules used by any human cell type central to disease pathology. By applying the power of computational biology and machine learning algorithms, CAMP4 is able to rapidly solve for druggable targets to control the output of any disease gene of interest.
Exicure is developing a new class of immunomodulatory and gene silencing drugs against validated targets. Our 3-dimensional, spherical nucleic acid (SNA™) architecture unlocks the potential of nucleic acid therapeutics in multiple organs. Our lead programs address diseases from inflammatory disorders to oncology. SNA constructs overcome one of the most difficult obstacles to nucleic acid therapeutics: safe and effective delivery into cells and tissues. SNA constructs exhibit unparalleled transfection efficiency into numerous cell and tissue types including the skin without carriers or transfection agents. Moreover, SNAs can be used as potent immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or infectious disease.
Kinnate Biopharma Inc. is a clinical-stage precision oncology company focused on expanding on the promise of targeted therapies for those battling cancer. The company is developing medicines for known oncogenic drivers where there are no approved targeted drugs and to overcome the limitations of marketed cancer therapies, such non-responsiveness or acquired and intrinsic resistance. Kinnate has two lead clinical programs being studied in solid tumors with RAF, NRAS and FGFR-driven alterations, and is rapidly progressing a pipeline of additional small molecule drug candidates as part of the Kinnate Discovery Engine.
Augustine Biomedical Design is a Eden Prairie, MN-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
