Precigen (Nasdaq: PGEN) is a dedicated discovery and clinical stage biopharmaceutical company advancing the next generation of gene and cell therapies using precision technology to target the most urgent and intractable diseases in our core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Our technologies enable us to find innovative solutions for affordable biotherapeutics in a controlled manner. Precigen operates as an innovation engine progressing a preclinical and clinical pipeline of well-differentiated unique therapies toward clinical proof-of-concept and commercialization.
We have developed a high-sensitivity next-generation sequencing-based system for the detection of cancer mutations in miniscule concentrations of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood. Our technology addresses the significant barriers associated with harnessing the information contained in cfDNA by combining our proprietary techniques in molecular biology and computational algorithm for error suppression. With our technology, nanogram quantities of highly-fragmented cfDNA can be amplified more than 1000-fold, and a panel of tens to hundreds of cancer-related genes can be screened with a sensitivity at the single-digit molecular level.
Alpine Immune Sciences is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing innovative, protein-based immunotherapies targeting the immune synapse to treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. We have two products in the clinic for inflammatory diseases, collaborations with world-class partners, and a robust development pipeline. Traded on NASDAQ under ticker ALPN.
Ignyta, located in San Diego, California, is a biotechnology company developing precision medicine with integrated Rx/Dx solutions for cancer patients. Its goal is to discover and develop revolutionary new drugs that target activated genes in cancer cells for the customized treatment of cancer patients. The company's present focus is on the development of RXDX-101, its proprietary oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets solid tumor indications, and advancing its novel Spark discovery programs that leverage its proprietary cancer genomic and epigenomic knowledge bases
AnaptysBio is a privately-held antibody development company focused on novel programs in immuno-oncology and inflammation. The Company`s first-in-class proprietary pipeline includes ANB020, an anti-IL-33 antibody for the treatment of severe adult asthma and peanut allergy, and ANB019, an anti-IL-36 receptor antibody for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis. AnaptysBio`s SHM-XEL platform has pioneered the use of in vitro somatic hypermutation for antibody discovery and optimization, which replicates key features of the human immune system and overcomes limitations of prior antibody technologies. AnaptysBio has previously announced partnerships with several biopharmaceutical companies, including Novartis, Gilead, Celgene, Momenta and TESARO.
