AmnioLife Corporation is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of a unique biologic suite of products designed to address unmet and underserved market needs with applications across multiple surgical specialties. We are committed to the development of novel biotechnology and regenerative therapeutics, primarily derived from placental origin. Currently we have filed a US provisional patent application on our core technology, ProLifixTM, an acellular collagen matrix. The Company has over 60 years of experience in biologics manufacturing and comercializaiton, and is led by Chris Broderick who recently launched a neurological tissue transplant technology and was responsible for over $10M in trending global sales.
At LAVA, we are focused on applying our expertise in gamma-delta T-cell engagers (TCEs) to transform cancer therapy. We refer to our compounds as gamma-delta bispecific T-cell engagers, or gamma-delta bsTCEs. Our platform generates therapeutics that specifically activate a unique and relatively abundant effector gamma-delta T-cell subset called Vγ9Vδ2 (Vgamma9-Vdelta2) T-cells that have the ability to trigger activity of immune cells of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Our gamma-delta bsTCEs have demonstrated superior efficacy and safety profiles compared to other bsTCE approaches in preclinical studies and show preferential activity against tumor cells thereby potentially limiting toxicity in healthy tissue. To date, we are the only company developing bispecific gamma-delta T-cell engaging antibodies for the treatment of cancer. We are building a pipeline of gamma-delta bsTCEs that have applications in both solid and hematologic malignancies. Our lead program, LAVA-051, targets the tumor specific antigen CD1d, which can be overexpressed in multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), among other tumor types. LAVA-051 will enter a Phase I/IIa study in 1Q21.
Merck Millipore is a Billerica, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
We founded Cedilla at a time of fundamental and rapidly growing insight into the mechanisms underlying protein stability. Small molecules that degrade or stablize target proteins are precedented, but have been discovered serendipitously. Cedilla is taking an integrated approach to discover new drugs with this mode of action. Our present focus is to develop novel medicines in oncology, but this approach will also be applicable to other fields, including central nervous system disorders and genetic diseases. Cedilla launched with $56.2 million in Series A funding from Third Rock Ventures.
ALX Oncology is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative immuno-oncology therapies for cancer.
