The THOR Group is a Manhattan Beach, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
We are passionate in our commitment to improving and renewing people`s lives. Sesen Bio is a late-stage company devWe are passionate in our commitment to save and improve the lives of patients. Sesen Bio is a late-stage company developing fusion protein medicines for the treatment of patients with cancer. In February 2021, the FDA accepted for filing the Company`s BLA for Vicineum™, a potential best-in-class treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.eloping fusion protein medicines for people with cancer. Our fusion protein approach tethers a tumor-targeting antibody fragment to a protein cytotoxic payload to form a single protein molecule designed to selectively and broadly kill cancer cells while sparing healthy cells and to activate the body`s innate immune response system. The most advanced program in our pipeline is Vicinium™, a novel investigational anti-cancer treatment that has the potential to treat multiple cancers driven by overexpression of EpCAM, such as non-muscle invasive bladder (NMIBC) and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We are currently advancing Vicinium in a Phase 3 registration trial for the treatment of people with NMIBC who have been previously treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), with positive three-month efficacy results established and 12-month study results expected in mid-2019. Due to Vicinium`s potential to promote an anti-tumor immune response, we believe it holds promise as a combination treatment with immuno-oncology drugs, such as checkpoint inhibitors.
Oxford Nanopore Technologies aims to disrupt the paradigm of biological analysis. Our technology and commercial model has already opened up DNA analysis to researchers who previously had no direct access to sequencing technologies, freeing them up to perform analyses in their own labs, in real time or in the field. Over time, the technology will continue to improve, new form factors of the technology will be introduced and workflows will be further simplified by new preparation techniques or analysis workflows. This technology pathway is designed to enable the analysis of any living thing, by any person, in any environment. Oxford Nanopore has developed the worlds first and only nanopore DNA sequencer, the MinION. The MinION is a portable, real time, long-read, low cost device that has been designed to bring easy biological analyses to anyone, whether in scientific research, education or a range of real world applications such as disease/pathogen surveillance, environmental monitoring, food chain surveillance, self-quantification or even microgravity biology. Commercially available since 2015, the MinION is in use by a thriving community of scientists in >50 countries, where it is enabling myriad applications within the traditional laboratory environment and in the field. Nanopore sensing technology is fully scalable. The GridION X5 is a desktop device that includes compute module and the ability to run up to five MinION Flow Cells. The the high-throughput/sample number PromethION is currently being released in the PromethION Early Access Programme (PEAP). Oxford Nanopore is focused on making DNA based analyses easy enough for any user and so we are working to simplify the sample preparation and data analysis processes. For sample preparation this includes a 5-10 minute sample prep kit, and VolTRAX (in development), a rapid, programmable, portable, disposable sample preparation device designed to prepare DNA for addition to a nanopore sequencing device.
Encodia is developing an innovative Next-Gen digital proteomics platform to enable democratized protein sequencing. Our goal is to make protein sequencing easy and ubiquitous by using a novel reverse-translation technology that turns peptide sequences into DNA. The DNA can be read by an NGS DNA sequencer, providing a path to breakthrough proteomics research at a scale that is not practical or cost-effective using current technologies.
Cerus Corporation is dedicated solely to safeguarding the world`s blood supply and aims to become the preeminent global blood products company. Headquartered in Concord, California, the company develops and supplies vital technologies and pathogen-protected blood components to blood centers, hospitals, and ultimately patients who rely on safe blood. The INTERCEPT Blood System for platelets and plasma is available globally and remains the only pathogen reduction system with both CE mark and FDA approval for these two blood components. The INTERCEPT red blood cell system is under regulatory review in Europe, and in late-stage clinical development in the US. Also in the US, the INTERCEPT Blood System for Cryoprecipitation is approved for the production of Pathogen Reduced Cryoprecipitated Fibrinogen Complex (commonly referred to as INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex), a therapeutic product for the treatment and control of bleeding, including massive hemorrhage, associated with fibrinogen deficiency.
