Poseida Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company translating best-in-class technology into lifesaving cell and gene therapies for patients with high unmet medical need. The company is developing CAR T-cell immunotherapies for multiple myeloma, prostate and other cancer types, as well as in vivo gene therapies for orphan genetic diseases. These cell therapies and the gene therapies soon to come are products of our proprietary suite of industry-leading gene engineering technologies, including the piggyBac® DNA Modification System, Cas-CLOVER™ and TAL-CLOVER™ site-specific nucleases.
Arvinas is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new small molecules ‒ known as PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) ‒ aimed at degrading disease-causing cellular proteins via proteolysis. Based on innovative research conducted at Yale University by Dr. Craig Crews, Founder and Chief Scientific Advisor, the company is translating natural protein degradation approaches into novel drugs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The proprietary PROTAC-based drug paradigm induces protein degradation, rather than protein inhibition, using the ubiquitin proteasome system and offers the advantage of potentially targeting “undruggable” as well as “druggable” elements of the proteome. This greatly expands the ability to create drugs for many new, previously unapproachable targets.

Sapphire Energy believes the time is now to create new energy solutions that are environmental, scalable, and renewable. Sapphire is leading the new industrial category of Green Crude production with the potential to profoundly change Americas energy and petrochemical landscape for the better. With only sunlight and CO2, Sapphire Energy is turning algae into Green Crude that can be refined into the three most important liquid fuels we use today: gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. There is no need to make changes to our vehicles, pipelines, or distribution systemsas Green Crude offers a complete drop-in replacement solution.
