We believe that our dedication to providing healthcare professionals with novel and effective treatment solutions will allow patients to experience positive results without some of the side effects associated with existing treatments. Klox Technologies’ senior management team has over 80 years of combined experience in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical devices industries. We continue to research, develop, and commercialize solutions based on our BioPhotonic technology platform for a growing and aging population that is seeking more effective and less invasive treatment options to improve their health and quality of life.
Immatics Biotechnologies is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leading the development of advanced immunotherapies that are active against cancer. Cancer immunotherapy is still severely constrained by the lack of novel targets. Immatics overcomes this by applying its target discovery engine XPRESIDENT® to identify and validate antigens specific to cancer cells. These antigens, also called Tumor-Associated Peptides (TUMAPs), are able to activate T cells which are responsible for identifying and destroying cancer cells. These well characterized TUMAPs can be used as targets for all of the most promising cancer immunotherapy approaches including Adoptive Cell Therapies (ACT), soluble T Cell Receptors (TCRs), Antibodies and Cancer Vaccines. The US based Immatics US, Inc., launched in Aug. 2015, is focused on the development of three ACT approaches for the treatment of tumors with high unmet medical needs: ACTolog™, ACTengine™, and ACTallo™ in close collaboration with leading scientists at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, who contribute their long-term ACT expertise. The first ACT products are expected to enter the clinic in 2016. Immatics signed a strategic cancer immunotherapy collaboration with Roche in November 2013 to research, develop and commercialize a number of new cancer peptide antigen-based immunotherapies. In addition, Immatics is engaged in the development of soluble T-cell receptor (sTCR) approaches as well as monoclonal antibodies (mABs) directed towards XPRESIDENT® targets. The latter will be pursued in a strategic alliance with MorphoSys. Immatics is further conducting the clinical development of fully personalized therapeutic cancer vaccines, Glioma Actively Personalized VAccine Consortium (GAPVAC; an EU-funded consortium) in collaboration with BioNTech. Immatics GmbH is based in Tübingen, Germany, with a headcount of approximately 90 people. Immatics US, Inc. is based in Houston, Texas, USA, and currently employs approximately 15 people.
NFlection is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapies to address the needs of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1, immunosuppressant-mediated squamous cell carcinoma, and congenital birthmarks such as keratinocytic epidermal nevi and nevus sebaceous.
ZielBio is an early-stage biotechnology company that identifies novel high value disease targets and develops therapeutic interventions to improve patient outcomes. Our proprietary drug discovery platform Zielfind™ combines the power of functional, high throughput screening with large content data analytics to identify high value targets. We have a promising pipeline of therapies and targets, including lead compound ZB131, a proprietary humanized monoclonal antibody against cell surface plectin (CSP) a cancer target identified through Zielfind™.
IGM Biosciences, Inc. is a privately held biotechnology company that has been focused on creating and developing novel IgM and IgA antibodies that improve the treatment of cancer and other diseases since 2010.
