SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. is a Milford, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, & Biotech sector.
Pionyr Immuntherapeutics (formerly Precision Immune Inc.) is developing cancer immunotherapies that target the tumor microenvironment to enhance the body`s antitumor immunity. The company is exploiting novel target discovery and antibody generation platform technologies to create the next generation of immuno-oncology therapeutics. The company`s approach, Myeloid Tuning™, is designed to enhance the immune system`s anti-tumor response by altering the cellular infiltrate of the tumor microenvironment with high specificity.
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.
IMIDomics is a biotechnology company focused on Patient-Centric drug discovery for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). Our goal is to discover new and impactful IMID drugs by focusing on carefully selected patients, and stratifying populations to identify those most likely to respond. IMIDomics is powered by a unique Clinical Discovery EngineTM, which integrates and analyzes proprietary clinical, epidemiological and patient-derived biomolecular datasets, generated in partnership with the Vall d`Hebron Institute of Research, to establish a deeper understanding of IMID diseases. By doing so, IMIDomics has identified previously unrecognized targets, six of which have been selected for development. By relying on access to well-defined patients and their clinically relevant samples, IMIDomics enhances the probability of successful IMID drug discovery and development for those in need.
AmacaThera is a Toronto-based biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing a unique, injectable hydrogel platform technology for a wide range of medical applications.
