Carl Greenblatt founded G&W Laboratories, Inc. in 1919 upon his return from military service as a pharmacist with US forces in World War I. While establishing a reputation as an innovative specialist in suppository dosage forms, Carl guided G&W Laboratories with an uncompromising commitment to product integrity and customer service. In 1945, Carl’s son, Burton, also a registered pharmacist, returned from military service in World War II and joined the small but growing company. During the post-war years, G&W expanded its product line beyond suppositories, into creams, ointments, gels and liquids. G&W moved to a larger state-of-the-art laboratory and production facility, which now exceeds 180,000 square feet in South Plainfield, New Jersey. Continuing the high ethical standards and customer focus established by Carl and his son Burton Greenblatt, G&W is still family owned and operated. Burton’s son, Ronald, who joined the company in 1978 and now serves as Chief Executive Officer; and Ronald’s son, Aaron, who joined the company in 2009 after earning his Pharm.D. In addition to strong family ties the family hired Kurt Orlofski, who joined G&W as President and Chief Operating Officer in 2009.
Unum is a Cambridge, MA-based cellular therapeutics company ushering in a new wave of innovation in cancer immunotherapy. Unum has built an antibody-coupled T-cell receptor (ACTR) platform that, when combined with tumor-specific antibodies, directs an individual’s cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) to kill tumor cells. In contrast to other approaches that hit a single target and treat a narrow set of tumors, Unum’s approach is not restricted by antigens and may have applications for treating many types of cancers. Our lead program based on ACTR technology is expected to enter Phase I clinical testing soon to assess safety and efficacy in certain forms of leukemia and lymphoma. In parallel, we are actively seeking partners interested in using the ACTR technology to arm novel proprietary antibodies with a T-cell to improve their therapeutic potential. Working initially to pre-clinically validate antibody-ACTR combinations with partners, we expect to rapidly advance multiple proprietary combinations into clinical testing within the next few years.
