Pioneering the next generation of non-viral gene therapy - by tackling more diseases, more precisely and in a more personalized way.
MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.

Cybrexa is a clinical-stage oncology biotechnology company developing novel antigen-independent peptide drug conjugates (ADCs) aimed at combatting a range of cancer types, including ovarian, breast and non-small cell lung cancer. With the potential to disrupt the standard of care, the Cybrexa alphalex™ technology is a novel antigen-independent peptide drug conjugate (PDC) platform that enables targeted delivery of highly potent anticancer treatments and aims to revolutionize the standard of care in oncology. The platform consists of a pHLIP® peptide, linker, and small molecule anti-cancer agent. pHLIP® peptides are a family of pH-Low Insertion Peptides that target acidic cell surfaces. pHLIP® was developed at Yale University and the University of Rhode Island, and is exclusively licensed to pHLIP, Inc. alphalex™ represents the disruptive next generation in tumor targeting. Early clinical trials of the company`s lead candidate, CBX-12, demonstrate robust efficacy signals and tolerability in patients with metastatic cancer. As a privately held company, Cybrexa is led by a management team experienced at building life science companies and driven by scientists with an expertise in drug development and oncology.
