Midwest AgEnergy Group is a North Dakota biofuels enterprise. Midwest AgEnergy Group owns Blue Flint Ethanol, a 65 million gallon per year biorefinery in operation since 2007 near Underwood, N.D., and Dakota Spirit AgEnergy, a 65 million gallon per year biorefinery east of Jamestown, ND that began production in June 2015. Together with our partners, we are building a renewable energy future for the country, increasing demand for North Dakota farmers, and bringing prosperity to our communities.
Tango Therapeutics is a biotechnology company discovering and developing novel medicines targeting cancer vulnerabilities to deliver transformational new therapies for patients. Tango was launched in 2017 with a $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures. The company has established a robust product engine that leverages advances in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery to generate breakthrough medicines that have the potential to provide deeper, more sustained benefit than today`s targeted therapies, and extend the benefit of available immuno-oncology agents. Tango Therapeutics is focused on three areas of drug development, each in well-defined patient populations currently lacking effective treatment options, and each with hallmarks of cancer that have not been targeted yet. These include: loss of tumor suppressor gene function; multiple oncogenic drivers; and immune evasion. What fuels each of Tango`s programs is an increasingly sophisticated ability to utilize synthetic lethality - the interaction between two genes that causes cell death when both are inactivated. In cancer cells, one of these genes is inactivated by mutation; the other will be inactivated by a drug. This approach leaves normal cells largely unaffected, with the potential to greatly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and reduce associated toxicity. Tango`s success will be driven by its depth of understanding of the genetic subtypes of cancer, and corresponding insights into novel drug targets and combinations uniquely relevant to each subtype. By shaping discovery efforts in this way, Tango has the potential to reach the clinic quickly, and with a clear plan for identifying the patients most likely to benefit from each new treatment, an approach that could increase both speed and probability of success in translating novel target discoveries into transformational new medicines for patients.
Avalyn is a biopharma company committed to developing improved therapies for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other severe respiratory diseases. Our lead asset is inhaled pirfenidone (AP01) for the treatment of IPF. With offices in Seattle and San Diego, Avalyn`s experienced clinical and inhaled product development team is rapidly advancing AP01 for the treatment of IPF and additional pipeline candidates for IPF and other severe respiratory diseases.
Silverback Therapeutics is charting a new path for treating a range of severe diseases. We are developing therapies that act on fundamental biological pathways that underlie disease, but that modern medicine has not been able to fully harness — until now.
