Actym Therapeutics has engineered a new drug modality harnessing the power of a genetically modified bacterial vehicle that safely introduces therapeutic payloads to activate the immune response in the tumor microenvironment. To achieve targeted anti-tumor effects, we have developed a systemically administered treatment that exploits intrinsic TME-specific metabolites, enabling selective enrichment of the bacterial vehicle in tumors. After cell-specific entry, our lead candidate, ACTM-838, positively activates tumor-resident myeloid cells and delivers two synergistic payloads, optimized IL-15 and STING, unlocking a comprehensive and durable innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune response. With the ability to tailor our platform utilizing a range of payload combinations, we aim to achieve a new level of therapeutic impact for cancer patients across multiple tumor types.
Inform Genomics, Inc, is a privately held company that utilizes a proprietary technology platform to discover and develop genomic-based, precision medicine products that are designed to predict, with a high degree of accuracy, clinically important outcomes that assist physicians and their patients in making individualized medical decisions. Its lead development program is in oncology supportive care, with two major products currently in development--OnPART™ and HSCT/Mucositis™--designed not only to predict a patient's risk for developing common chemotherapy-related side effects, but also to assess a patient's willingness to tolerate those side effects. The Company's novel, IP-protected technology platform capitalizes on big data storage/memory and sophisticated cloud computing technologies. It consists of proprietary Bayesian networks and other advanced bioinformatic analytics combined with validated patient assessment tools. The Company's analytics discover interactions of genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can predict clinical outcomes. Inform Genomics' goal is to be a trusted partner to health care practitioners so that they, together with their patients, can make optimal health care choices based on an individual patient's needs and values.

Modern Meadow was founded on the belief that customers should not have to choose between performance and sustainability. Additionally, we believe that people should not have to choose between a career that helps them achieve their personal goals and a career with purpose. Achieving both personal and professional goals with purpose is possible at Modern Meadow, and we invite qualified professionals to apply for positions of interest. At the intersection of biotechnology and material science, Modern Meadow designs materials solutions for the way we want the world to perform. We are pioneers of biofabrication, building with biology. This enbables us to harness unique properties of proteins to move the world away from petrochemical and animal-derived inputs, leading a shift to the bioeconomy. Modern Meadow Biofabricated Materials offer the world a new way forward. By introducing a more effective, more responsible, and readily available supply, we are shifting demand away from extractive practices and toward a sustainable bioeconomy. Our team is engaged in exciting work to enable us all to move beyond sustainability to real world impact. Our philosophy and sustainability principles help us stay focused on the most critical environmental issues and challenge us to design our products and systems in the most sustainable manner. But we cannot build a bioeconomy alone. We are partnering with companies, developing bio-based supply chains, and speaking with businesses looking to design for sustainability from the start. Together we can create new coalitions to build out the environmentally conscious alternatives our planet desperately needs.
