Merck Millipore is a Billerica, MA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Human Longevity, Inc. ™ (HLI) is the genomics-based, health intelligence company creating the world`s largest and most comprehensive database of whole genome, phenotype and clinical data. HLI is developing and applying large scale computing and machine learning to make novel discoveries from these data to generate personalized health insights. Our goal is to extend healthy human life by revolutionizing human health and transforming the practice of medicine. Our DNA determines so much about each of us, but other factors can also influence our health. HLI is focused on compiling and analyzing more genotypic and phenotypic data because the combination of both enables us —to generate unprecedented insights and accelerate our understanding into what makes us who we are and what we can change for a life better lived.
We are dedicated to developing and commercializing effective and broadly applicable interventions for food allergy. Food allergy is a disease of the immune system that is triggered by an exceptionally broad range of commonly allergenic foods such as cow’s milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish and even sesame. In a perfect world, the human immune system would adapt to all foods. However, in tens of millions of people, the immune system wrongly recognizes some food proteins as harmful and does not adapt. We envision a world where, with help from oral immunotherapy, the immune system can adapt to nearly all food allergens. And we built our inspiration into our name—Alladapt. Alladapt was co-founded in 2018 in Palo Alto, California, by allergist and protein biochemist Kari Nadeau, MD, PhD, and biotechnology entrepreneur, Ashley Dombkowski, PhD. Academic clinical research conducted by Dr. Nadeau has demonstrated that a food allergic immune system in an individual person can be receptive to remodeling by gradually increasing exposure, under tightly controlled clinical supervision, to the proteins that activate the inappropriate cascade of reactions. This work, combined with research illuminating disease mechanisms and pathways, led the founders to envision a biopharmaceutical intervention capable of addressing food allergy provoked by a wide-ranging set of antigens. Food allergy is a serious disease, with potentially life-threatening consequences. The disease has grown dramatically in recent years and now affects more than 6 million children¹ and 26 million adults² in the United States alone. Importantly, about half of people with food allergy are reactive to multiple foods, which further increases the risk of anaphylaxis due to accidental ingestion. The chronic, unpredictable components of this disease can elevate anxiety in patients and their families, and place extreme limitations on their lives. It is our goal to help patients experience more of life’s magical moments with less fear and greater confidence.

As a leader in precision oncology, Fore Biotherapeutics provides patients with unaddressed cancer mutations new hope by connecting them with hyper-targeted medicines. Fore`s integrated functional genomics and machine learning capabilities, known as Foresight, are elucidating disease biology in competitively distinct and unparalleled ways that allow us to uniquely identify clinical-stage assets for people with few to no therapeutic alternatives. Fore is advancing its lead program, FORE8394, to treat both V600 and non-V600 BRAF mutations and continues to refine its clinical approach to serve more patient populations with difficult-to-treat mutations across oncogenes.
