Regulus is focused on the discovery and development of microRNA therapeutics. microRNAs are members of a large class of non-coding RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length that regulate most genes in the genome. A single microRNA can target and regulate up to hundreds of genes, and these genes are involved in biological networks or pathways. Dysregulated microRNA expression is involved in the initiation of many complex multi-factoral diseases, including cancer, inflammatory disease, fibrosis, and metabolic disease. microRNA therapeutics are oligonucleotide medicines that modulate the function of microRNAs, correcting the imbalance of gene expression and associated cellular pathways to treat human disease. Regulus was formed in September 2007 by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ALNY) and Isis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ISIS). Regulus benefits substantially from the collective therapeutic RNA expertise of its founding companies, including established proprietary oligonucleotide-based technologies, and broad and dominant intellectual property estates specific to chemically modified oligonucleotides. Regulus has access to over 900 patents and patent applications pertaining to oligonucleotide technologies useful for targeting microRNA therapeutics, and over 170 patents and patent applications directed to microRNA specific technologies. Regulus is located in La Jolla, California and is led by a seasoned executive team and board of directors, with proven expertise in corporate management, business operations, drug discovery and drug development. Regulus’ scientific advisory board consists of world-class scientists and several of the foremost authorities in the field of microRNA research.
We are The Machine Learning Immunology Company. Seismic Therapeutic is a biotechnology company integrating machine learning across the entire biologics drug discovery and development process. Using our IMPACT™ platform, we are fully integrating machine learning with the key elements of biologics drug discovery – structural biology, protein engineering and translational immunology – to create optimized therapies for patients. Seismic Therapeutic has an emerging pipeline of novel approaches to address adaptive immune system dysregulation to treat autoimmune diseases. The company is backed by a strong syndicate of life sciences investors and is located in the Boston biotechnology hub.
Axsome Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for the treatment of CNS disorders. Axsome has a balanced portfolio of clinical development stage as well as research stage product candidates. The company is based in New York City.
Samumed is a leader in medical research and development for tissue-level regeneration. With our platform`s origins in small molecule-based Wnt pathway modulation, we develop therapeutics to address a range of degenerative diseases, regenerative medicine and oncology.
Oxford Immunotec is a global, commercial-stage diagnostics company committed to improving patient care by providing advanced, innovative tests in the field of immunology. Our proprietary T-SPOT technology platform allows us to measure the responses of specific immune cells, known as T cells, to inform the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of patients with immunologically controlled diseases. The initial product we have developed using our T-SPOT technology platform is our T-SPOT.TB test, which is used to test for latent Tuberculosis (TB) infection, or LTBI. Our T-SPOT.TB test has been approved for sale in over 50 countries, including the United States, where we have received pre-market approval (PMA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in Europe, where we have obtained a CE mark, as well as Japan and China. Our T-SPOT.TB test has been included in clinical guidelines (that is, guidelines issued by governmental agencies and professional societies covering recommended or suggested uses of available diagnostics) for TB screening in 17 countries, including the United States, several European countries and Japan. We are a publicly traded company listed in the United States on the NASDAQ stock exchange (NASDAQ:OXFD).
