Immunocellular Therapeutics Ltd (Fka: Optical Molecular Imaging Inc) is a Woodland Hills, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, & Biotech sector.
Abeona Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ABEO) is a fully-integrated gene and cell therapy company at the forefront of the rapidly-advancing field of genetic medicine. The Company`s multi-platform expertise across the manufacture, delivery, development, and discovery of novel gene and cell therapies has it uniquely positioned for success. Underpinning the Company`s robust pipeline is its fully-operational manufacturing facility producing therapies and vectors for preclinical and clinical studies. Abeona is also developing the AIM™ Vector Platform: 100+ next-generation AAV capsids for delivering gene therapies targeting a wide range of organs and multiple routes of delivery. A robust and diverse pipeline is led by a novel gene-corrected cell therapy poised to enter Phase 3 in mid-2019 and complemented by one-time gene therapy candidates across four lysosomal storage diseases. Several preclinical discoveries are led by an emerging program in cystic fibrosis that uses the AIM vector platform and a capsid that has shown potential across inherited and acquired retinal diseases.
Regulus is focused on the discovery and development of microRNA therapeutics. microRNAs are members of a large class of non-coding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length that regulate most genes in the genome. A single microRNA can target and regulate up to hundreds of genes, and these genes are involved in biological networks or pathways. Dysregulated microRNA expression is involved in the initiation of many complex multi-factoral diseases, including cancer, inflammatory disease, fibrosis, and metabolic disease. microRNA therapeutics are oligonucleotide medicines that modulate the function of microRNAs, correcting the imbalance of gene expression and associated cellular pathways to treat human disease. Regulus was formed in September 2007 by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ALNY) and Isis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ISIS). Regulus benefits substantially from the collective therapeutic RNA expertise of its founding companies, including established proprietary oligonucleotide-based technologies, and broad and dominant intellectual property estates specific to chemically modified oligonucleotides. Regulus has access to over 900 patents and patent applications pertaining to oligonucleotide technologies useful for targeting microRNA therapeutics, and over 170 patents and patent applications directed to microRNA specific technologies. Regulus is located in La Jolla, California and is led by a seasoned executive team and board of directors, with proven expertise in corporate management, business operations, drug discovery and drug development. Regulus’ scientific advisory board consists of world-class scientists and several of the foremost authorities in the field of microRNA research.
Codagenix Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company with vaccine products against influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, dengue virus, and others currently under development. Codagenix uses a computer-based algorithm, called SAVE (Synthetic Attenuated Virus Engineering) to design viral genomes that are identical to the wild type strain at the amino acid level, but make less protein in human cells.
Q Therapeutics is a Salt Lake City, UT-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
