Curve Biosciences (“Curve”), a company bringing precision to chronic disease care, creates products targeting biological changes in tissues that result in the development and progression of chronic diseases. Curve`s Chronic Disease Tissue Atlas (CDTA) uniquely allows the company to discover these precise changes with data from over 250,000 tissues across more than 1,000 clinical studies. Curve is focused on first commercializing its best-in-class blood tests for the $30 billion market of chronic liver diseases while using CDTA to find biomarkers and targets for other conditions.
Veracyte is a pioneering genomic diagnostics company. Our tests are dramatically improving clinical outcomes for patients by resolving inconclusive results from traditional diagnostic methods. We ask the right questions to resolve ambiguity and bring assurance to light, rendering tens of thousands of costly and unnecessary surgeries truly unnecessary. We are giving patients a clearer path forward. Through scientific rigor we employ the best tools, best science and best minds to create tests that enable a more accurate diagnosis without the need for risky, costly and often unnecessary surgery. Veracyte consistently brings to bear evidence that is unprecedented in genomic tests, thereby changing today`s clinical practice standards. We are making a difference in the lives of physicians and patients. We are doing something real.
Arsanis is a leader in the discovery and development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the targeted immunotherapy of serious infections. Monoclonal antibodies have transformed the treatment of a wide range of diseases from cancer to immune system disorders. In infectious diseases, mAbs can target directly specific pathogens or their virulence mechanisms to avoid pathogenic processes in the infected individual, including resistant strains that give rise to serious infections. Unlike traditional antimicrobials that often target both pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms in a non-specific way (e.g., broadly killing all Gram-positive bacteria), Arsanis` monoclonal antibodies selectively focus on specific pathogens and pathogenic processes. These targeted immunotherapies address critical infections while minimizing the collateral damage from antimicrobial overuse, resistance, and microbiome disruption. We believe that the ability to selectively and safely target causative pathogens provides a new way of preventing and treating infections in high-risk patients, and can generate both clinical and health economic benefits to patients and providers, ushering in a new era in infection prevention and management.
