True North Therapeutics is a pioneering biotechnology company selectively inhibiting the Complement pathway for diseases of high unmet clinical need. The companys lead monoclonal antibody, TNT009, targets the Classical Complement pathway, enabling selective inhibition of downstream phagocytosis, inflammation, and cell lysis. True North is currently focused on Complement-mediated rare diseases in the hematologic, renal, and neurological space. True North was formed in 2013 as a spin-out of iPierian.
BioSearch is a Falls Church, VA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
GrowBLOX Sciences (OTCQ GBLX) – merges state-of-the-art technologies in plant biology, cultivation and post-production processes in order to optimize safe, consistent medical Cannabis. The company is pioneering technologies and industry-leading processes in combination with a Big Data-driven clinical research and development program to bring relief to patients in communities across the country.
Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral stability characteristics onto them. The platform has been optimized over the years and involves synergistic integration of rational drug design, diversity oriented computational tools, phage display libraries, recombinant peptide expression, ex vivo oral stability methods, and peptide/medicinal chemistry techniques. This activity has led to the identification of ‘privileged scaffolds’ with favorable oral stability characteristics. Furthermore, the technology platform is well suited both for de novo discovery against a target and optimization around a given chemical starting point.
Clinsys practices this philosophy with its clients. We focus on building long-term relationships and successful partnerships with our pharmaceutical and biotech partners through a total dedication to delivering on commitments, understanding client needs
