Code Bio was founded on the belief that more can be done for people living with debilitating genetic diseases. We are driven by the potential of our transformative technology to treat the untreatable and cure the incurable. Code Bio is developing highly targeted genetic medicines with its proprietary, novel, multivalent, synthetic DNA delivery platform, 3DNA®, which has been engineered to overcome many of the challenges inherent with the delivery of genetic medicines. 3DNA offers unparalleled tissue and cell targeting specificity, improved bioavailability, capability to deliver large genetic payloads, potential ability to re-dose, and a scalable, modular, reproducible manufacturing process. Our 3DNA delivery platform is poised to transform the field of genetic medicines, enabling targeted delivery of gene therapy, RNAi and other genetic modalities. Currently we are advancing an internal pipeline of genetic medicines focused on select diseases without a cure (Duchenne`s Muscular Dystrophy and Type 1 Diabetes), as well as establishing partnerships to take forward programs in both rare and prevalent diseases.
Psychemedics (NASDAQ: PMD) is the world`s leading drug testing company using hair for the detection of drugs of abuse. Psychemedics has been successfully operating for 30 years and thousands of corporations worldwide currently rely on Psychemedics` patented hair analysis technology for their pre-employment and employee drug screening. Psychemedics` clients include over 10% of the Fortune 500, some of the largest police departments in America, Federal Reserve Banks, and schools.
CiVi Biopharma Inc. is a US-based, privately-held biopharmaceutical company, founded in 2016. The Company`s research and development activities are focused on creating novel therapies for cardiovascular, metabolic and related diseases. CiVi`s innovative pipeline includes CiVi007, a long-acting PCSK9 third-generation Locked Nucleic Acid antisense molecule being developed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the Company currently has other clinical stage development program activity aimed at treating severe liver diseases.
Exicure is developing a new class of immunomodulatory and gene silencing drugs against validated targets. Our 3-dimensional, spherical nucleic acid (SNA™) architecture unlocks the potential of nucleic acid therapeutics in multiple organs. Our lead programs address diseases from inflammatory disorders to oncology. SNA constructs overcome one of the most difficult obstacles to nucleic acid therapeutics: safe and effective delivery into cells and tissues. SNA constructs exhibit unparalleled transfection efficiency into numerous cell and tissue types including the skin without carriers or transfection agents. Moreover, SNAs can be used as potent immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or infectious disease.
Chromatin is unlocking the potential of plants to produce greater value and meaningful products for consumers, growers, seed producers, and processors. At the same time, the company's technology can benefit the environment through decreased use of pesticides and fertilizers. The company's mini-chromosome technology simultaneously introduces multiple genetic traits into plants, reducing the time and cost required to develop improved and novel crop-based products, such as medicines, biomaterials, textiles and nutritionally improved foods. These products are enabled while allowing growers to enjoy the benefits of the most up-to-date agronomic traits, such as herbicide tolerance, pest resistance, and diseases resistance. Mini-chromosomes also provide unprecedented precision and control of new traits at every point in a plant's life cycle, from seed to field and beyond. Crop stewardship is at the core of Chromatin's values, and the company is equally focused on using its technology to introduce sustainable, healthy agricultural practices while enhancing commercial value and quality of life.
