Symic is developing a new category of therapeutics that offer an exciting and biologically innovative approach to treating disease. While it is clear that cells play an important role in tissue inflammation and regeneration, it is also known that the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an equally critical role in maintaining healthy tissue. The ECM is the non-cellular component of the body’s tissues, and proteoglycans are important structural and functional macromolecules native to the ECM that are known to protect against tissue degradation and promote healing during illness or injury. Recognizing the importance of proteoglycans in many acute and chronic disease states, Symic developed a library of proprietary, ECM-specific compounds that mimic the protective effect of natural proteoglycans. For controlled injuries (e.g. incisions, balloon angioplasty), Symic’s ECM-specific compounds allow for local application, enhancing their ability to attenuate inflammation and reduce scarring only at the site of injury. In disease states known for chronic inflammation involving the ECM (e.g. cartilage in osteoarthritis), Symic’s technology can disrupt the cycle of degradation-inflammation by directly targeting and protecting the injured ECM. The ECM plays a critical role in many acute and chronic disease states, many of which have limited or no effective therapeutic options. Symic plans to advance its compounds in a variety of therapeutic areas with unmet clinical needs.
Sanford Jackson Medical Center is a Jackson, MN-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Stolle Milk Biologics Inc is a Cincinnati, OH-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Spring Bank Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SBPH) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of a novel class of therapeutics using our proprietary small molecule nucleic acid hybrid (SMNH) chemistry platform. SMNH compounds are small segments of nucleic acids that the company designs to selectively target and modulate the activity of specific proteins implicated in various disease states. Spring Bank is developing its most advanced SMNH product candidate, inarigivir soproxil (formerly referred to as SB 9200), for the treatment of viral diseases, including hepatitis B virus (HBV), and other SMNH product candidates, including SB 11285, the company`s lead immunotherapeutic agent for the treatment of selected cancers through the activation of the STimulator of Interferon Genes, or STING, pathway.
Tute Genomics is a web-based, powerful solution for analyzing genetic sequencing data in a matter of minutes. Tute is robust, secure, professional-grade; a true web application that lives in the cloud and has the ability to analyze and annotate entire human genomes in a rapid and cost-effective way. What makes Tute stand out above the rest? Tute is built on ANNOVAR, the gold-standard in whole genome interpretation with already over 400 scientific citations. Tute pulls in 125+ annotation types, databases, and scores; more than any other analyses software. Tute can use your genome variant data in a variety of common formats (VCF, CG masterVar, and more) and uses proprietary machine-learning algorithms to rank each variant. For each genetic variant, Tute presents a human-readable annotation with links to external supporting evidence. Tute supports disease gene finding, biomarker discovery, pharmacogenetics and more.
