Elite Diagnostics is a Anaheim, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Moderna is a clinical stage pioneer of messenger RNA Therapeutics™, an entirely new in vivo drug technology that produces human proteins, antibodies and entirely novel protein constructs inside patient cells, which are in turn secreted or active intracellularly. This breakthrough platform addresses currently undruggable targets and offers a superior alternative to existing drug modalities for a wide range of diseases and conditions. Moderna is developing and plans to commercialize its innovative mRNA drugs through its own ventures and its strategic relationships with established pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Its current ventures are: Onkaido, focused on oncology, Valera, focused on infectious diseases, Elpidera, focused on rare diseases, and Caperna, focused on personalized cancer vaccines. Cambridge-based Moderna is privately held and currently has strategic agreements with AstraZeneca, Alexion Pharmaceuticals and Merck.
Kinnate Biopharma Inc. is a clinical-stage precision oncology company focused on expanding on the promise of targeted therapies for those battling cancer. The company is developing medicines for known oncogenic drivers where there are no approved targeted drugs and to overcome the limitations of marketed cancer therapies, such non-responsiveness or acquired and intrinsic resistance. Kinnate has two lead clinical programs being studied in solid tumors with RAF, NRAS and FGFR-driven alterations, and is rapidly progressing a pipeline of additional small molecule drug candidates as part of the Kinnate Discovery Engine.
Impact Biomedicines, Inc. (Impact) is pioneering the development of life-changing treatments for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and other cancers. Led by a highly skilled and devoted team, Impact is advancing a late-stage pipeline centered around fedratinib, a potent and highly selective oral small molecule JAK2 kinase inhibitor, which is being developed initially for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF) and polycythemia vera (PV). Impact was formed in 2016 after acquisition of Sanofi’s full rights for the global development and commercialization of fedratinib. The Impact team intends to pursue multiple clinical indications for fedratinib to maximize its potential as a best-in-class therapy for JAK2-dependent diseases.
Biosplice is developing first-in-class, small-molecule therapeutics based on pioneering science of alternative pre-mRNA splicing.
