Comet Therapeutics addresses these profound unmet medical needs with its CoEnzyme Metabolism (CoMET™) Platform.
As a pioneer in the development of automated validation software solutions, ValGenesis leads the way with a unique paperless validation process that tracks the validation status of any GxP system in real time. With years of development and refinement in place, ValGenesis is the first to offer users real-time paperless validation via electronic execution thereby minimizing ineffectiveness and maximizing efficiency. ValGenesis automates and manages the validation life cycle and provides real time validation status of any system corporate wide.
Our vision is to transform drug discovery from a slow, sequential, and high-failure process into a rapid, integrated, and novel computational platform to accelerate drug discovery.
Lab Co Inc is a Jersey City, NJ-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Kezar co-founder Christopher Kirk, Ph.D. began his work on the unique function of the immunoproteasome at Proteolix in 2005, while working on the compound that would become the successful multiple myeloma drug KYPROLIS™ (carfilzomib). As VP of Research at Onyx Pharmaceuticals, which acquired Proteolix in 2009, Christopher led the efforts to develop the first selective inhibitors of the immunoproteasome and designed multiple studies demonstrating their profound immunomodulatory effects. In parallel with this work, Christopher and Kezar co-founder Jack Taunton, Ph.D. collaborated on several research projects involving protein secretion. This collaboration inspired a belief in the strong synergies between protein degradation and protein secretion, two fertile areas for drug discovery with platform potential. In 2014, Christopher and Kezar co-founder John Fowler began developing the business plan for Kezar, acting on a longstanding desire to work together and build a world-class company. In 2015, John and Christopher raised $23M and negotiated a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Amgen for the Onyx immunoproteasome inhibitor patent estate. Now underway, John and Christopher are excited to leverage their complementary skill sets to build Kezar into a leader in small molecule drug development.
