Neuralink is developing the capabilities of the brain through technological augmentation. A "neural lace” would be surgically connected to a human brain and allow a user to interact with a computer without the bandwidth challenges that come with current input methods, including keyboards, mice and trackpads. Neuralink will explore how brain interfaces might alleviate the symptoms of dangerous and chronic medical conditions.
3-V Biosciences, Inc. is discovering and developing therapeutics that modulate key pathways in oncology and infectious diseases. In oncology, the company`s lead candidate is a first-in-class, oral fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibitor in Phase 1 clinical development that has been shown to block tumor cell signaling pathways and induce tumor cell apoptosis. 3-V`s antiviral therapeutics have demonstrated the ability to block host-pathogen interactions, resulting in robust and broad-spectrum in vitro and in vivo antiviral activity, including efficacy against viruses resistant to other classes of antiviral drugs, and a high barrier to resistance. The 3-V team applies an integrated approach, leveraging internal expertise in biology, medicinal chemistry, drug discovery and development to drive programs forward. The company is located in Menlo Park, California.
Alliance Analytical is a Fremont, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
TissueVision Inc. (TVI) is a multi-disciplinary life sciences company offering 3D tissue imaging and analysis solutions for the research market. Our powerful Serial Two-Photon Plus (STP²) platform features stunning high-resolution multispectral datasets and analysis pipelines that create reliable 3D tissue models. The indexed histological sections produced during the STP² process can be further investigated with secondary analyses that run the gamut from standard histological stains to advanced spatial genomics. The final result is rich, multiplexed 3D models that deliver actionable and quantitative results. TVI provides project design, GLP-like documentation, including full protocol and report generation, and quality control review measures of all study-related materials. TVI is a solution provider to help answer research questions in a variety of therapeutic areas, including neuroscience, cancer, neurodegeneration, ophthalmology, and dermatology.
CureVac is a global biopharmaceutical company in the field of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, with more than 20 years of expertise in developing and optimizing this versatile biological molecule for medical purposes. The principle of CureVac`s proprietary technology is the use of optimized mRNA as a data carrier to instruct the human body to produce its own proteins capable of fighting a broad range of diseases. In July 2020, CureVac entered in a collaboration with GSK to jointly develop new products in prophylactic vaccines for infectious diseases based on CureVac`s second-generation mRNA technology. This collaboration was later extended to the development of second-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidates, and modified mRNA vaccine technologies. Based on its proprietary technology, CureVac has built a deep clinical pipeline across the areas of prophylactic vaccines, cancer therapies, antibody therapies, and the treatment of rare diseases. CureVac had its initial public offering on the New York Nasdaq in August 2020. It is headquartered in Tübingen, Germany, and employs more than 700 people at its sites in Tübingen, Frankfurt, and Boston, USA.
