Arvinas is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new small molecules ‒ known as PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) ‒ aimed at degrading disease-causing cellular proteins via proteolysis. Based on innovative research conducted at Yale University by Dr. Craig Crews, Founder and Chief Scientific Advisor, the company is translating natural protein degradation approaches into novel drugs for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The proprietary PROTAC-based drug paradigm induces protein degradation, rather than protein inhibition, using the ubiquitin proteasome system and offers the advantage of potentially targeting “undruggable” as well as “druggable” elements of the proteome. This greatly expands the ability to create drugs for many new, previously unapproachable targets.
Quantapore`s novel, high throughput, massively parallel sequencer will allow rapid, affordable and sensitive sequencing of entire genomes. This desktop system will address the need for efficient sequencing. Revenues will be garnered by seeding units into customer facilities, and then by the sale of consumable cartridges; providing rapid growth as the installed base and customer utilization increases.

Immunicom, Inc. is a privately held medical technology company that develops subtractive therapies for cancer, autoimmune disorders, and inflammatory and renal diseases. Immunicom`s blood-filtering Immunopheresis technology has the potential to effectively treat a wide variety of cancer types and other terminal diseases with a safer side-effect profile than conventional treatments. Immunicom`s lead product, the LW-02 column, previously received FDA Breakthrough Device designation in 2018 for stage IV metastatic cancer, and European regulatory clearance (CE Mark certification) in 2021 for use in adults with advanced, refractory, triple negative breast cancer. Immunopheresis is being evaluated in several global oncology trials for multiple cancers. Immunicom is headquartered in San Diego, CA with operations in Houston, TX, Philadelphia, PA, Krakow, Poland, and Istanbul, Turkey.
