Marketbase is a Herndon, VA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Exscientia is a global pharmatech company using patient-first artificial intelligence (AI) to discover better drugs, faster. Our mission is to encode, automate and transform every stage of the drug design and development process, by combining the latest AI techniques with experimental innovation, to enable the design of patient centric drug candidates with an improved probability of success. Our validated platform has delivered the first three AI-designed drugs to enter clinical trials and is the first AI system proven to improve clinical outcomes in oncology. We`ve significantly accelerated pre-clinical drug discovery, with 10x productivity improvement in delivering a drug candidate compared with industry standards. By actively applying AI to precision engineer medicines more rapidly and efficiently, we allow the best ideas of science to rapidly become the best medicines for patients.
Alexion is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and delivering life-transforming therapies for patients with devastating and rare diseases. Our shared purpose to serve patients in need drives us to find answers, change the world, and create a legacy. Alexion`s three highly innovative therapies treat patients with four severe and ultra-rare diseases, and we are committed to developing additional therapies that have the potential to transform patients` lives. Today, Alexion is advancing the most robust rare disease pipeline in the biotech industry, which, in addition to our complement and metabolic clinical programs, includes more than 30 diverse preclinical programs across a range of therapeutic modalities. Alexion has more than 3,000 employees serving patients in 50 countries. Our global headquarters and research operations are based in New Haven, Connecticut and our EMEA headquarters are in Zürich, Switzerland. We also have global supply chain and operations headquarters in Ireland, manufacturing facilities in the United States, and local and regional operations in countries around the world. Alexion was ranked number 5 by Science magazine in its Top Employer Survey and has also been ranked as one of the top companies on the Forbes "World`s Most Innovative Companies" list every year since 2012.
Aravive, Inc., is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing new therapies that target important survival pathways for both solid tumors as well as hematologic malignancies. Our primary therapeutic focus is the GAS6-AXL pathway, where AXL receptor signaling plays a critical role in multiple types of malignancies by promoting metastasis and cancer cell survival. Our technology, originated in the laboratories of Drs. Amato Giaccia and his colleagues at Stanford University, uses genetic screening to identify critical targets for the development of therapeutic molecules for cancer therapy while sparing healthy cells. This strategy is designed to enable us to interrupt oncogenic signals and, using our high-affinity decoy receptors, outcompete cancer`s ability to grow, metastasize and acquire resistance to treatments. We believe our unique cancer therapies may hold promise as a monotherapy or in combination with other cancer treatments, augmenting the anti-tumor activity of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immuno-therapeutics and cancer vaccines. By targeting advanced or metastatic disease, our approach has the potential to significantly improve survival rates while simultaneously reducing toxicity in cancer patients.
Synlogic is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing medicines through its proprietary approach to synthetic biology. Synlogic`s pipeline includes its lead program in phenylketonuria (PKU), which has demonstrated proof of concept with plans to start a pivotal, Phase 3 study in the second half of 2022, and additional novel drug candidates designed to treat homocystinuria (HCU) and enteric hyperoxaluria. The rapid advancement of these potential biotherapeutics, called Synthetic Biotics, has been enabled by Synlogic`s proprietary, reproducible, target-specific drug design. Synlogic uses programmable, precision genetic engineering of well-characterized probiotics to exert localized activity for therapeutic benefit, with a focus on metabolic and immunologic diseases. Synlogic is also working with Roche in a research collaboration focused on the discovery of a novel Synthetic Biotic for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and with Ginkgo Bioworks to include additional undisclosed preclinical assets, combining Synlogic`s approach to Synthetic Biotics with Ginkgo`s Codebase and Foundry services.
