BioAge is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging. The Companys lead product candidate, BGE-102, is a potent, orally available, brain-penetrant small-molecule NLRP3 inhibitor being developed for cardiovascular risk and retinal diseases. A Phase 1 SAD/MAD trial of BGE-102 is underway, with topline data including additional MAD cohorts anticipated in 1H26. The Company is also developing long-acting injectable and oral small molecule APJ agonists for obesity. BioAge’s additional preclinical programs, which leverage insights from the Company’s proprietary discovery platform built on human longevity data, address key pathways involved in metabolic aging. BioAge offers a comprehensive compensation package, comprehensive health and wellness benefits (medical, dental, and vision insurance), childcare and fertility benefits, and a 401(k) retirement savings plan with matched employer contributions. We pride ourselves on giving employees many opportunities for career development, including a generous annual budget for continued learning and dedication to training and skill development. At BioAge, everyone matters, and we embrace diversity and differences while we learn from each other. We are an equal opportunity employer. BioAge prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type and affords equal employment opportunities to employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. BioAge conforms to the spirit as well as the letter of all applicable laws and regulations.

Dualitas Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pioneering the future of bispecific antibody therapies for immune and inflammatory (I&I) diseases and beyond. Powered by our proprietary DualScreen™ discovery engine and a growing library of novel cell surface proximity engagers, our pipeline—including lead programs DTX-103 and DTX-102—has demonstrated compelling preclinical evidence supporting its potential to address important unmet patient needs. We offer partnering opportunities on the next generation of bispecific therapies in I&I diseases – and beyond.

At Catamaran, our mission is to harness the power of our proprietary TAILWIND™ Platform to develop safe and effective, off-the-shelf, allogeneic immune cell therapies for the treatment of patients with cancer and immune disorders.

Therini Bio is a clinical-stage biotech company developing immunotherapies for neuroinflammation in diseases driven by vascular dysfunction. The Company is developing a pipeline of potential first-in-class therapies selectively targeting toxic fibrin accumulation for diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), where destructive neuroinflammation plays a central role in the disease process. The foundational science was licensed based on technology discovered in Katerina Akassoglou’s, Ph.D., laboratories at the Gladstone Institutes at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and formerly the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Therini Bio’s top-tier syndicate of life sciences investors includes the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation, SV Health Investors’ Biotech Fund and Dementia Discovery Fund, Dolby Family Ventures, Dreavent Biotech Investments, Eli Lilly and Company, Foundation for a Better World, MRL Ventures Fund, the therapeutics-focused corporate venture fund of Merck & Co., Inc., and Sanofi Ventures.

EyeBio is a privately held ophthalmology biotechnology company dedicated to developing and delivering a new generation of therapies to protect, restore, and improve vision in patients with sight-threatening eye diseases.

Alchemab is harnessing the naturally protective power of patient antibodies to keep people free of hard-to-treat disease in a unique and transformative approach to drug discovery and development. Alchemab takes an unbiased and function-first approach using three complementary processes and cutting-edge technologies to identify naturally protective antibodies. Alchemab’s engine is enabled through collaborations with patient representative groups and biobanks around the world with whom we partner to further our understanding of disease.

Sitryx is a biopharmaceutical company focused on regulating cell metabolism to develop first-in-class disease modifying therapeutics in immuno-oncology and immuno-inflammation. The company was co-founded by a team of world-leading scientists from the United States and Europe who have contributed significantly to the field of immunometabolism. Sitryx was founded in 2018 with seed funding from SV Health Investors and raised $30 million Series A funding from an international syndicate of specialist investors including SV Health Investors, Sofinnova Partners, Longwood Fund and GSK. The company has a pipeline of projects at multiple stages of drug discovery. Sitryx is headquartered in Oxford, UK.

TRexBio is a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing immunoregulatory medicines based on tissue Treg biology by leveraging cutting-edge computational biology tools, a focus on human tissue, and deep immunobiology expertise. The company’s Deep Biology platform maps human tissue Treg behavior to disease processes to identify and characterize novel targets for therapeutic intervention. Our lead program TRB-061, currently in a Ph1 clinical trial for atopic dermatitis, is a novel TNFR2-selective agonist designed to activate and expand effector Tregs in the tissue and restore immune balance in inflammatory diseases. TRexBio is headquartered in South San Francisco, California. For more info, visit www.trex.bio.
