Seres Therapeutics is a clinical stage biotherapeutic company focused on discovering and developing Ecobiotic™ therapeutic products, novel drugs to treat important diseases by targeting the underlying biology of the human microbiome. Founded by Flagship VentureLabs, Seres is pioneering the first therapeutics that catalyze a shift to health by augmenting the biology of the microbiome. Current candidates span infectious, metabolic, and inflammatory diseases.
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing best-in-class therapies for patients with liver and gastrointestinal, or GI, diseases. Since our founding in 2014, we have invested in building a foundation of chemistry and biology expertise to drive innovative drug discovery and development. We believe these internal capabilities allow us to gain insights into disease targets and mechanisms and more quickly and purposefully design therapies with characteristics that we view as key to safety and efficacy. With this systematic approach, we have designed novel, proprietary farnesoid X receptor (FXR) clinical product candidates arising from a unique chemical scaffold with the potential to be best-in-class for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, and first- in-class for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBD. In addition to our FXR program, we have continued to invest in drug discovery on other therapeutic targets that have effects on inflammation and/or fibrosis for which we believe we could develop proprietary small molecule therapies.
Transcriptic is a very small company. We like it that way. Our work culture is an unstructured environment where you can do your best work supported by a group of your peers. Everyone sets their own goals, and everyone is empowered to think creatively. We work hard and we focus, but we don`t do all-nighters or heroic pushes. Grinding yourself into the ground is a fast way to introduce bugs. Life science demands precision; we take our time and we get it right. We use commercial-off-the-shelf solutions when they`re available, and we aren`t afraid to open them up to get to more exacting standards—and if we can`t find it, we build it. We`re completely devoted to solving Transcriptic`s challenges as cleverly as possible to build solid, reliable, intelligent solutions.
Palleon is targeting glycan-sensing checkpoints to unleash both the innate and adaptive immune responses to cancer.
Elastrin Therapeutics is a South Carolina-based biotech developing novel therapies to reverse cardiovascular disease. Its underlying technology was developed by Dr. Naren Vyavahare during the last 20 years at Clemson University, in collaboration with Dr. Charles Rice.
