Arkuda Therapeutics is a biotechnology company applying insights into lysosomal biology to drive the development of medicines to change the trajectory of neurodegenerative disease. Arkuda`s lead program ARKD-104 aims to correct progranulin deficiency and lysosomal dysfunction in patients with GRN-related frontotemporal dementia (FTD-GRN), a genetically-defined subtype of frontotemporal dementia caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in the progranulin (GRN) gene. The company is further exploring the therapeutic potential of its molecules in other neurodegenerative diseases where genetic links to dysfunction in progranulin biology have been established, including Alzheimer`s Disease and Parkinson`s Disease. Arkuda is backed by leading investors including Atlas Venture, Cormorant Asset Management, Pfizer Ventures, funds managed by Tekla Capital Management LLC, Mission BioCapital, and Eli Lilly and Company.

resTORbio, Inc. is a clinical stage company, developing medicines to treat aging-related diseases and conditions. resTORbio`s lead program targets the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway to treat aging-related diseases and conditions. Initially, resTORbio is focused on developing medicines that address conditions caused by immunosenescence, the decline in immune function due to aging. resTORbio has initiated a Phase 2b trial for its lead product candidate, RTB101, evaluating its potential to reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections (RTI) in elderly individuals at increased risk of RTI-related morbidity and mortality. resTORbio`s lead program is built upon two Phase 2a clinical studies demonstrating promising safety and efficacy results in almost 500 elderly individuals.
Xontogeny is a life sciences accelerator that collaborates with entrepreneurs, scientific founders and first-time CEOs to drive the successful development of their technologies to enable new treatment options for patients with serious disease.
