Personal Genome Diagnostics (PGDx) is empowering the fight against cancer by unlocking actionable information from the genome. We are committed to developing a portfolio of regulated tissue-based and liquid biopsy genomic products for laboratories worldwide. Our expertise in advanced cancer genome analysis ranges from sample preparation and sequencing to data interpretation and analysis. We specialize in high-throughput next-generation sequencing, proprietary algorithms to identify alterations in complex cancer genomes and have developed novel technologies for non-invasive approaches in cancer. PGDx was founded in 2010 by Luis Diaz and Victor Velculescu to help bring novel diagnostic approaches to patients with cancer. They are internationally recognized leaders in cancer genomics who have extensive experience in the application of innovative genomic technologies for drug development and clinical practice.
CytoDyn is a biotechnology company focused on the clinical development and potential commercialization of humanized monoclonal antibodies for the treatment and prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. We have one of the leading monoclonal antibodies under development for HIV infection, PRO 140, which prevents viral entry into healthy T-cells by blocking the HIV co-receptor CCR5. The drug candidate is also being tested for other immunological conditions, and has been granted FDA orphan drug status for the treatment of Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are undergoing bone marrow stem cell transplantation.
Sangart is a San Diego, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, & Biotech sector.
Lion Biotechnologies (LBIO) is focused on the development and commercialization of novel cancer immunotherapies based on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Under a collaborative research and development agreement with Dr. Steven A. Rosenberg at the National Cancer Institute, we are investigating our our lead product candidate, LN-144, in the treatment of stage 4 metastatic melanoma. In clinical trials, LN-144 has demonstrated curative potential in patients with metastatic melanoma, and it may also be applicable to a wide range of other solid tumors. As we continue advancing our current clinical programs in collaboration with NCI, Moffitt Cancer Center and MD Anderson, we are also developing next-generation TIL products and an optimized manufacturing process that will enable the production of highly potent, engineered cells at a significantly reduced cost. With unique and versatile technology, promising clinical programs, strong intellectual property, high-profile collaborations and seasoned leadership, Lion is committed to elevating hope and treatment standards for patients, while creating exceptional value for its shareholders.
