Arixa Pharmaceuticals™ is developing oral antibiotics for resistant Gram-negative infections, an urgent need. Our lead program is an oral prodrug of Avibactam®, a broad spectrum beta-lactamase inhibitor recently approved by FDA. We have addressed and solved the medicinal chemistry issues which complicate the prodrugging of this class of compounds, and expect to receive broad composition of matter patent protection.
Curran Biotech is a materials manufacturing company that provides nano coatings to biochemical, chemical, energy and construction industries including water-repellent coatings for fabrics, canvas, tarps, and glass. Our hydrophobic coatings are specifically designed to improve the nature and quality of the substrates by preventing water-substrate interactions. The technology was developed in the materials/chemistry labs (Institute for Nano Energy) of the physics department at the University of Houston and started commercialization in 2013.
Aeris Therapeutics Inc is a Woburn, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
ContraFect is a biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing therapeutic protein and antibody products for life-threatening, drug-resistant infectious diseases, particularly those treated in hospital settings. Due to drug-resistant and newly emerging pathogens, hospital acquired infections are currently the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, following heart disease, cancer and stroke. We intend to address drug-resistant infections using our therapeutic product candidates from our lysin and monoclonal antibody platforms to target conserved regions of either bacteria or viruses (regions that are not prone to mutation). ContraFect's initial product candidates include new agents to treat antibiotic-resistant infections such as MRSA (drug-resistant staphylococcus bacteria) and influenza.
