Advanced Life Sciences is a Woodridge, IL-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Imara Inc. is dedicated to developing novel therapeutics for people living with sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies. Sickle cell disease is a rare, genetic blood disease that causes red blood cells to sickle and become damaged, activating immune cells and blocking blood flow in capillaries, injuring many organs and causing daily pain. Imara is developing IMR-687, a highly selective, potent small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9i), to treat patients with sickle cell disease. Imara was launched following an 18-month scientific collaboration between orphan drug accelerator Cydan Development and H. Lundbeck A/S.
Prime Medicine was founded to bring the promise of gene editing to patients. We use Prime Editing, a next-generation technology that can “search and replace” to restore normal genetic function almost anywhere in the genome. Prime Editing searches to find the precise place in the genome to edit and replaces the segment of faulty DNA with a correct copy of DNA. A single Prime Editor can correct the individual mutations found across patients, meaning Prime Editing can potentially address more than 90 percent of known disease-causing genetic mutations.
CellGenix USA is a Antioch, IL-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Tioma is an immuno-oncology company developing anti-CD47 antibodies for the treatment of solid and hematologic cancers. Our functionally diverse antibodies represent a new class of checkpoint inhibitors that harness both the adaptive and innate immune responses.
