BioHitech America is the industry leader in the development of a simple, cost-effective food waste disposal technology designed to solve today’s landfill diversion and sustainability objectives. The Eco-Safe Digester handles food waste at the point of generation, no residual food waste to store or transport. The Eco-Safe Digester can convert up to 2,400 pounds of food waster per day into a nutrient-neutral grey water that can safely be disposed of via municipal sewer systems. The Eco-Safe Digester saves money by avoiding disposal costs and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by providing a sustainable means of transportation for the waste by-product with doesn’t require on-road transportation. The Eco-Safe Digester’s cloud-based management solution is designed to measure and collect food waste data. It correlates information to report cost savings and environmental reductions as well as communicate opportunities to prevent waste altogether. This modifiable data can also be used to assess the performance of your staff and predict trends for smarter budgeting and purchasing purposes. In addition to diverting food waste from landfills and converting food waste into a resource, the machine is now poised for significant growth in this emerging data-driven zero waste initiative climate because it identifies waste in order to prevent the creation of it all together. Already implemented in many applications across the globe, the Eco-Safe Digester is ideal for use in any food service, hospitality, healthcare, government, conference center, education center, or stadium that generates a high volume of waste.
Tango Therapeutics is a biotechnology company discovering and developing novel medicines targeting cancer vulnerabilities to deliver transformational new therapies for patients. Tango was launched in 2017 with a $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures. The company has established a robust product engine that leverages advances in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery to generate breakthrough medicines that have the potential to provide deeper, more sustained benefit than today`s targeted therapies, and extend the benefit of available immuno-oncology agents. Tango Therapeutics is focused on three areas of drug development, each in well-defined patient populations currently lacking effective treatment options, and each with hallmarks of cancer that have not been targeted yet. These include: loss of tumor suppressor gene function; multiple oncogenic drivers; and immune evasion. What fuels each of Tango`s programs is an increasingly sophisticated ability to utilize synthetic lethality - the interaction between two genes that causes cell death when both are inactivated. In cancer cells, one of these genes is inactivated by mutation; the other will be inactivated by a drug. This approach leaves normal cells largely unaffected, with the potential to greatly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and reduce associated toxicity. Tango`s success will be driven by its depth of understanding of the genetic subtypes of cancer, and corresponding insights into novel drug targets and combinations uniquely relevant to each subtype. By shaping discovery efforts in this way, Tango has the potential to reach the clinic quickly, and with a clear plan for identifying the patients most likely to benefit from each new treatment, an approach that could increase both speed and probability of success in translating novel target discoveries into transformational new medicines for patients.
Paragon Biosciences invests in and launches biopharmaceutical companies to develop novel therapies for severe medical conditions which do not yet have adequate treatments. Our mission is to help people live longer, healthier lives. Paragon advances that mission through its contribution of Bioscience Innovation Capital(TM): For rare and complex diseases, Paragon analyzes the viability of potential therapies, invests in new biopharmaceutical companies to further develop promising treatments, catalyzes the progress of its portfolio companies through early-incubation services, and provides clinical and regulatory guidance by a team with a near-perfect track record of first-cycle novel drug approvals.
Singlera Genomics Inc., a fast growing company focusing on non-invasive genetic testing, was co-founded in July 2014 in San Diego, California by Professor Yuan Gao (Johns Hopkins University), Professor Kun Zhang (University of California at San Diego), Mr. Jiangli Zhang (CEO), Mr. Qiang Liu (COO), and Dr. Rui Liu (CTO). The company currently has an R&D center in La Jolla, California, and a business and clinical operation site in Shanghai, China. Singlera has proprietary technologies in single cell sequencing, DNA methylation and bioinformatics. In the past decade, Professor Gao, Professor Zhang and Dr. Liu have made outstanding achievements in their respective scientific research fields, and have published hundreds of research papers in top level scientific journals. These publications include 20+ papers in Cell, Nature, and Science. In recent years Professor Gao, Professor Zhang, and Dr. Liu have expanded their efforts to translational diagnostics, and have applied their expertise to develop genetic tests. Singlera is committed to the application of Next Generation Sequencing technologies, to diagnose genetic diseases and disorders. Singlera`s main products and services include tumor diagnosis and personalized treatment, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, pre-implantation genetic screening, and customized scientific research services. Singlera is dedicated to the development of precision medicine, striving to help the patients through early, accurate and informative diagnoses.
