Akouos is a precision genetic medicine company dedicated to developing gene therapies that restore and preserve hearing. Leveraging its adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector-based gene therapy platform, Akouos is focused on developing precision therapies for forms of sensorineural hearing loss. Headquartered in Boston, the Company was founded in 2016 by world leaders in the fields of neurotology, genetics, inner ear drug delivery, and AAV gene therapy. Akouos has strategic partnerships with Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Lonza, Inc
Kurion creates technological solutions to minimize and stabilize nuclear and hazardous waste for safe, secure and permanent disposal. Kurion’s suite of waste separation, stabilization and robotic technologies are complemented by engineering and environmental services that together provide an execution platform to service the world’s largest nuclear and hazardous waste sites. Backed by venture capital firms Lux Capital, Firelake Capital and Acadia Woods Partners, the Kurion executive team employs a collective 150 years of industry experience managing nuclear and hazardous waste for commercial and government sites worldwide. Kurion is based in Irvine, Calif., and operates a technology development center at its radioactive materials licensed facility in Oak Ridge, Tenn.; a detritiation testing facility in Houston, Texas; two facilities in Richland, Wash., for non-radioactive demonstration testing, engineering and storage of mobile systems; and an office in Loveland, Colo. for engineering design and development.
Purdue Pharma L.P. is a privately held pharmaceutical company founded by physicians more than 60 years ago. We are committed to advancing the care of patients with innovative, quality products that make a positive impact on healthcare — and on lives. Purdue Pharma is part of a global network of independent associated companies that is known for pioneering research in chronic pain and opioids with abuse deterrent properties. The Company is engaged in the research, development, production, and marketing of prescription medicines and over-the-counter healthcare products. We are pursuing a promising pipeline of new medications through internal research & development and strategic industry partnerships. At Purdue, we embrace our mission to find, develop, and introduce innovative medicines that meet the evolving needs of healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers.
Recognizing the importance of managing a traumatic bleed quickly and effectively, Joe Landolina and Isaac Miller founded Cresilon, Inc. based on the hemostatic plant-based gel technology Joe invented while experimenting in the lab. Cresilon has since grown into a biotechnology company headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, commercializing our medical device technology in the animal health, trauma care, and surgical markets.
Our founding belief is that the future of medicine will rely on artificial intelligence, because biology is too complex for humans to understand. Today, the molecular world of the cell can be experimentally interrogated like never before. The resulting datasets provide an unprecedented opportunity to build artificial intelligence systems that are biologically accurate and that support the detection of disease and the development of molecular interventions. Deep Genomics is building a biologically accurate data- and AI-driven platform that supports geneticists, molecular biologists and chemists in the development of therapies. Over the next two years, Deep Genomics will use its platform to unlock new classes of antisense oligonucleotide therapies that were previously inaccessible or out of reach, and advance them for clinical evaluation. In project Saturn, the platform will be used to search across a vast space of over 69 billion molecules with the goal of generating a library of 1000 compounds that can be used to manipulate cell biology and design therapies.
