Working to cultivate a better tomorrow by bringing together human, natural & financial resources to grow our businesses and communities.
Kiromic BioPharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage, fully integrated biotherapeutics company using our proprietary DIAMOND® artificial intelligence (AI) platform to discover and develop cell and gene therapies with a therapeutic focus on immuno-oncology and other diseases. Kiromic is in the process of developing a multi-indication allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy that exploits the natural potency of Gamma Delta T-cells to target solid cancers. From our heritage as a cancer vaccine development company, Kiromic is focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel immuno-oncology applications through its robust product pipeline. Our pipeline development is leveraged through the Company`s proprietary target discovery engine called "DIAMOND," where big data science meets target identification to dramatically compress the man-years and billions of drug development dollars required to develop a live drug.
Visterra is a biotechnology company that uses its proprietary Hierotope™ Platform to identify unique disease targets and design and engineer effective therapeutics. The company`s technology is powered by computational tools and techniques, the core of which is Atomic Interaction Network (AIN) analysis, which uniquely identifies an area, or epitope, on the target site that is fundamental to its structure and function. This ideal epitope, or hierotope, becomes the target against which the company designs a novel therapeutic to effectively and durably combat the disease. The company`s lead product candidate, VIS410, is a broad spectrum human monoclonal antibody for the treatment of both seasonal and pandemic influenza, is in a phase 2a clinical trial and expected to enter a phase 2b clinical trial by year end 2017. The company`s second product candidate, VIS649, is a monoclonal antibody engineered to treat IgA nephropathy, a rare chronic kidney disease. In addition, Visterra has established a number of partnerships to progress novel antibodies engineered to treat significant diseases with limited treatment options.
Conversant Biologics is a Huntsville, AL-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Pionyr Immuntherapeutics (formerly Precision Immune Inc.) is developing cancer immunotherapies that target the tumor microenvironment to enhance the body`s antitumor immunity. The company is exploiting novel target discovery and antibody generation platform technologies to create the next generation of immuno-oncology therapeutics. The company`s approach, Myeloid Tuning™, is designed to enhance the immune system`s anti-tumor response by altering the cellular infiltrate of the tumor microenvironment with high specificity.
