Advanced Cell Diagnostics, Inc. (ACD) is a leader in the emerging field of molecular pathology, developing cell- and tissue-based diagnostic tests for personalized medicine. Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, ACD was founded and managed by experienced entrepreneurs in the life science industry. ACD’s products and services are based on its proprietary RNAscope® Technology, the first multiplex fluorescent and chromogenic in situ hybridization platform capable of detecting and quantifying RNA biomarkers in situ at single molecule sensitivity. In addition to its ongoing efforts to develop proprietary diagnostic tests for cancer management, ACD also establishes partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to validate biomarkers for targeted therapeutic development. These internal and external efforts will continue to position ACD as a leader in molecular diagnostics and companion diagnostics. The company’s technology overcomes critical hurdles in the identification and validation of biomarkers for companion diagnostics. ACD’s RNAscope® platform provides a new way of localizing and measuring RNA in situ with exceptional levels of sensitivity, specificity, and the ability to multiplex. Turnaround time for a new assay is reduced to three weeks. These advantages make the technology a powerful tool to address the issue of patient and disease heterogeneity, thus shortening the path to personalized medicine.
Targeting a better life for people with cancer is why we get up in the morning. It`s not enough to disrupt the progress of someone`s cancer; we want to keep cancer from disrupting someone`s life. That`s why everything we do is about developing the most precise, targeted cancer therapies. We believe this is the best way to get people back to their lives—back to living today, tomorrow, and beyond. Because for us, targeting a better now is the only thing that matters. ImmunoGen is a leader in developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Our lead product candidate, mirvetuximab soravtansine, is a first-in-class folate receptor alpha (FRα)-targeting ADC with multiple studies underway in ovarian cancer. Our second pivotal program, IMGN632, is a CD123-targeting ADC being studied as a monotherapy in BPDCN and in combination in AML. Our earlier-stage assets in development are IMGC936, an ADAM9-targeting ADC in co-development with MacroGenics, and IMGN151, our next generation anti-folate receptor alpha ADC.
At AviadoBio our mission is to transform the lives of people living with neurodegenerative disorders by developing and delivering transformative gene therapies for diseases including frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The Company`s technology is based on pioneering research from King`s College London and the UK Dementia Research Institute.
Founded in 2013 and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Zymergen integrates automation, machine learning, and genomics to rapidly accelerate the pace of scientific advancement. We treat the genome as a search space, leveraging machine learning to make discoveries far beyond the bounds of human intuition. In doing so, we deliver economic value, material diversity and performance capabilities not previously possible.
