Surface Oncology is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on using its specialized knowledge of the biological pathways critical to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) for the development of next-generation therapies to help patients suffering with cancer. Recent advances in understanding how the immune system fights cancer has created a first wave of immunotherapies with profound benefits for some patients. These first-generation therapies, or "checkpoint inhibitors", have been groundbreaking, but only a relatively small subset of patients is deriving long-term benefit. We believe that the lack of a broad and sustained clinical response is because these first-generation therapies only target one component of the immunosuppressive TME and a broader, more multi-faceted therapeutic approach is required. We are a team on a mission to deliver transformative outcomes for people with cancer by breaking through the frontiers of immuno-oncology research. Our diverse clinical and preclinical pipeline of immune-enhancing antibody candidates target the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system to deliver dramatically different therapies for patients and their families. Surface is leveraging its deep understanding of TME biology to target factors and cells that suppress patients’ anti-tumor immune response. Our broad attack on the TME has the potential to convert patients’ non-responsive ‘cold’ tumors into immune-active ones. We push ourselves to break through across all dimensions of our work. From a discovery perspective, Surface leverages its world-class SAB to identify new targets and takes an aggressive approach towards generating diverse, highly-specific antibodies, which allows our scientists to thoroughly explore the relevant biology. Our antibody discovery approach generates therapeutic-quality antibodies, as well as unique tools to explore the biology of the tumor microenvironment.

Quture is an emerging healthcare knowledge solution company positioned to transform health and healthcare by developing the standard in measuring clinical performance. The Company’s products and services will become the essential technology and tool to improve care and health, while reducing costs. The demand to measure performance is coming from all stakeholders in healthcare involved in both payment and delivery. Measuring performance is now mandatory and is the new foundation of how providers are reimbursed, granted privileges to practice in hospitals, and, in the near future, selected by patients for their care. Quture is not a software company. Quture is the company that makes the best software in the world better. We know what to find, where to find it, and what to do with it once you find that data in disparate electronic data sources in healthcare organizations. The Company licenses the application of performance measures delivered in a software platform creating the most powerful clinical knowledge database in the world. Quture knows what payers want to pay for, and what they do not want to pay for, and the clinical knowledge to support payment systems while improving care. Quture’s mission statement is to become the Gold Standard in Healthcare Performance Measurement. Quture provides healthcare organizations, insurers, government payers, and other stakeholders in the healthcare community with performance measurement tools and data sets. Industry experts agree that these performance measures are the “transformative tool” that reduce medical cost and improve quality of care. Q’uture’s management team has 35 years of experience and a long history of working with many of the nation’s leading healthcare institutions as a leader and innovator in measuring clinical performance. Quture plans include developing a revolutionary solution to effectively and efficiently measure clinical performance from multiple vendor databases.
Assembly Biosciences (NASDAQ: ASMB) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics targeting hepatitis B virus (HBV) and diseases associated with the microbiome. The HBV program is focused on advancing a new class of potent, oral core inhibitors that have the potential to increase cure rates for chronically infected patients. The microbiome program is developing novel oral live microbial biotherapeutic candidates with Assembly`s fully integrated platform, including a robust process for strain identification and selection, GMP banking and production, and targeted delivery to the lower gastrointestinal tract with the GEMICEL® technology. We pride ourselves on creating a culture and work environment that is scientifically driven, ambitious, and collaborative. We encourage diversity of thought that leads to great innovation and are looking to add to our dynamic team great people who are driven to transform the lives of patients. We believe our Microbiome platform represents a best in class approach to developing biopharmaceutical agents from live biotherapeutic products. ABI-M201, our lead program in mildly to moderately active ulcerative colitis (UC), is currently in a phase 1b clinical trial. This program is part of a broader collaboration we established with Allergan in 2017 for gastrointestinal programs such as UC, Crohn`s disease and Irritable Bowel Syndromes with potential total development and commercial milestones of up to $2.8 billion. Our internal pipeline comprises first in class or best in class live microbial biotherapeutic approaches in areas such as oncology, immune mediated and metabolic disorders, and other areas of high medical need. Assembly is headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, while the R&D headquarters is in South San Francisco. The Company also has a microbiome manufacturing facility in Groton, CT, and offices in China.
