Developing the next generation of immuno-oncology therapeutics
We founded Cedilla at a time of fundamental and rapidly growing insight into the mechanisms underlying protein stability. Small molecules that degrade or stablize target proteins are precedented, but have been discovered serendipitously. Cedilla is taking an integrated approach to discover new drugs with this mode of action. Our present focus is to develop novel medicines in oncology, but this approach will also be applicable to other fields, including central nervous system disorders and genetic diseases. Cedilla launched with $56.2 million in Series A funding from Third Rock Ventures.
Pattern is building a dream team of scientists and visionaries dedicated to addressing this global problem with faster, smarter diagnostics for more precise treatment.
Clade Therapeutics is a well-funded cell therapy company developing novel cell-based medicines for the treatment of cancer and other devastating diseases. The company, located in the heart of Cambridge was recently launched by an exceptional group of academic leaders and successful bioentrepreneurs converging stem cell biology, immunology, regenerative medicine, and gene editing into the next-generation of stem cell-derived medicines.
PDL manages a portfolio of patents and royalty assets, consisting of its Queen et al. patents, license agreements with various biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and royalty and other assets acquired. To acquire new income generating assets, PDL provides non-dilutive growth capital and financing solutions to late-stage public and private healthcare companies and offers immediate financial monetization of royalty streams to companies, academic institutions, and inventors. PDL has invested approximately $780 million to date. PDL evaluates its investments based on the quality of the income generating assets and potential returns on investment. PDL is currently focused on intellectual property asset management, acquiring new income generating assets and maximizing value for its shareholders. The Company was formerly known as Protein Design Labs, Inc. and changed its name to PDL BioPharma, Inc. in 2006. PDL was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in Incline Village, Nevada. PDL pioneered the humanization of monoclonal antibodies and, by doing so, enabled the discovery of a new generation of targeted treatments for cancer and immunologic diseases for which it receives significant royalty revenue.
