Renovacor is a preclinical gene therapy company developing a pipeline of innovative and proprietary AAV based gene therapies for BAG3 gene mutation-associated diseases in areas of high unmet medical need. Renovacor`s therapeutic focus is initially on cardiovascular disease, with a lead program in BAG3 mutation-associated dilated cardiomyopathy.
Potenza Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on building a diverse portfolio of oncology programs that utilize the body`s own immune system to seek out, recognize and destroy tumors through a diversity of mechanisms. Our programs are built upon novel biological insights into the tumor microenvironment and mechanisms by which cancer cells evade detection and destruction by the immune system. Potenza Therapeutics was founded in 2014 and is located in Cambridge, MA.
We are harnessing the #gut brain axis & the #CNS to develop a new class of therapeutics for people with neurological diseases & disorders
Triplet Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing transformational treatments for patients with repeat expansion disorders (REDs) -- a group of more than 50 known genetic diseases including Huntington`s disease, myotonic dystrophy, spinocerebellar ataxias, fragile X syndrome, and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) -- leveraging insights from patient genetics. Triplet designs and develops potential therapeutics for REDs using its proprietary thRED Engine, which enables the Company to develop a single oligonucleotide targeting the DNA Damage Response (DDR) pathway to potentially treat multiple REDs. Triplet is backed by investments from Atlas Venture, MPM Capital and Pfizer Ventures, along with Invus, Partners Innovation Fund and Alexandria Venture Investments.
ViaCyte is a privately held regenerative medicine company developing novel cell replacement therapies as potential long-term diabetes treatments to achieve glucose control targets and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and diabetes-related complications. ViaCyte`s product candidates are based on directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into PEC-01 pancreatic islet progenitor cells, which are then implanted in durable and retrievable cell delivery devices. ViaCyte demonstrated that when effectively engrafted, PEC-01 cells can mature into glucose-responsive insulin producing cells in patients with type 1 diabetes. To accelerate and expand its efforts, ViaCyte has established collaborative partnerships with leading companies including CRISPR Therapeutics and W.L. Gore & Associates.
