At Karuna, our purpose is to create and deliver transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions. Through the cultivation of our deep expertise in neuroscience, and inventive thinking around drug discovery and development, we are advancing a pipeline of novel medicines with the goal of providing a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by these conditions. Our culture is defined by our passion to serve those affected by mental illness. We are purpose-driven and intentional. We know impactful innovations don`t come easy, but are borne from passion and hard work. Together, we are working toward a goal bigger than ourselves.
CNS Therapeutics is a Saint Paul, MN-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Locus Biosciences` novel approach to precision antimicrobials works by taking advantage of an immune system present in many bacteria called the CRISPR-Cas system. The CRISPR-Cas system protects bacteria from invaders such as viruses by creating a small strand of RNA called a CRISPR RNA, which matches a DNA sequence specific to a given invader. If the CRISPR RNA is matched to a complementary DNA sequence, the Cas proteins will cleave the invading DNA.
Juventas Therapeutics is a private clinical-stage company developing novel therapies for ischemic cardiovascular disease. The company`s lead product` JVS-100` is a non-viral plasmid that encodes for stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). SDF-1 has been shown to significantly increase end-organ function following tissue injury by promoting cell survival` recruiting endogenous stem cells to the damaged region` and promoting new blood vessel growth. The SDF-1 repair pathway is well conserved throughout end-organ systems providing the opportunity to impact a broad range of diseases. Target cardiovascular clinical indications address large markets with high unmet medical need and significant market potential. Juventas is currently enrolling multiple clinical trials to test therapy efficacy in heart failure and critical limb ischemia patients.
Aspect Biosystems is a privately held biotechnology company pioneering microfluidic 3D bioprinting of living, human tissue. The company`s proprietary technology is enabling advances in understanding fundamental biology, disease research, development of novel therapeutics, and regenerative medicine.
