Repare Therapeutics is developing new, precision oncology drugs for patients that target specific vulnerabilities of tumor cells. Its approach integrates insights from several fields of cell biology including DNA repair and synthetic lethality. Repare`s platform combines a proprietary, high throughput, CRISPR‐enabled gene editing target discovery method with high‐resolution protein crystallography, computational biology and clinical informatics.
Saltwhistle Technology is a Chester, NH-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Opexa Therapeutics is a Spring, TX-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Ensysce Biosciences, San Diego, CA, is a clinical stage private biopharma with prodrug platforms that address opioid use disorder. Trypsin-Activated Abuse Protection (TAAP) technology forms an opioid prodrug that can only be activated through a 2-step internal digestive process, and therefore cannot be abused by chewing, snorting or IV administration.
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.
