Leyden Labs aims to help people live their lives to the fullest. Our platform targets commonalities of viral families to protect humanity from known and future viruses. Our portfolio of accessible intranasal product candidates may provide people with the freedom to immediately protect themselves from and prevent the spread of many variants of respiratory viruses, including ones in the influenza and coronavirus families. The Leyden Labs’ energetic team of world-renowned biotechnology veterans and fresh talent is dedicated to thinking differently to free humanity from the burden of respiratory viruses.

Nutcracker Therapeutics is an RNA therapeutics company that has combined the power of advanced engineering with high-precision biosynthesis to deploy a complete RNA therapeutics platform. Armed with this high-tech advantage, we have developed a wholly owned pipeline of RNA therapeutic programs and established partnership initiatives with top clinical investigators at several leading institutions across the globe. With our platform’s ability to accelerate the development of life-changing RNA therapeutics, we seek to advance breakthrough RNA therapies at high velocity through all stages of development across a variety of indications. Our technology platform has the potential to significantly reduce costs and cycle times for RNA therapeutic development, with dramatic advantages in capacity scaling and point-of-care delivery over other RNA manufacturing approaches.

Kriya Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing gene therapies for diseases affecting millions of people around the world. With operations in Palo Alto, California and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, Kriya has raised over $450 million to advance a broad pipeline of gene therapies for ophthalmology, neurology, and metabolic diseases.

TeneoBio, Inc. is a biotechnology company that is developing a new class of biologics, Human Heavy Chain Antibodies (UniAbs™), as therapeutics against cancer, autoimmunity, and infectious diseases. TeneoBio has several products in pre-clinical and clinical development for the treatment of multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, and immune disorders. TeneoBio’s antibody discovery engine is based on UniRat™, a proprietary heavy chain only, human immunoglobulin transgenic rat. We apply a novel sequence-based discovery approach using NGS, bioinformatics and high-throughput recombinant protein expression. This approach identifies a large set of diverse UniAb leads with broad epitope coverage of target antigens. The high affinity and robust function of UniAbs combine antibody specificity with excellent developability. The UniAbs’ fully human VH domains, UniDabs™, are versatile building blocks that can be linked to Fc’s or serum albumin for the development of novel therapeutics with multi-specificity, increased potency and extended half-life. To enable the development of platforms for T cell redirection, TeneoBio has produced many high-affinity UniAbs specific for human CD3 and various tumor antigens. Such bispecific therapeutic antibodies against multiple myeloma cells are currently in preclinical development. Blockade of immune checkpoints has been shown to direct T cells against tumors for therapeutic benefit. TeneoBio has produced several such high-affinity UniDab™ blockers against various checkpoint inhibitors, laying the foundation for multi-specific anti-cancer therapeutics in the immune-oncology space.

Our mission is to detect cancer early, when it can be cured. We are working to change the trajectory of cancer mortality and bring stakeholders together to adopt innovative, safe, and effective technologies that can transform cancer care. We are a healthcare company, pioneering new technologies to advance early cancer detection. We have built a multi-disciplinary organization of scientists, engineers, and physicians and we are using the power of next-generation sequencing (NGS), population-scale clinical studies, and state-of-the-art computer science and data science to overcome one of medicine’s greatest challenges. GRAIL is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, with locations in Washington, D.C., North Carolina, and the United Kingdom. It is supported by leading global investors and pharmaceutical, technology, and healthcare companies. For more information, please visit grail.com. Community Guidelines: https://bit.ly/3xigb24

We enable health systems, life sciences companies and payers to accelerate the integration of genomic data into patient care and therapeutic development. Learn more at www.helix.com

We are focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics that could significantly advance the fields of thrombosis and other hematologic conditions. The Companys first two commercialized products are Andexxa® [coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo], marketed in Europe as Ondexxya® (andexanet alfa), and Bevyxxa® (betrixaban). The company also is advancing cerdulatinib, an investigational SYK/JAK inhibitor being developed for the treatment of hematologic cancers. We are continuing to explore new discoveries that impact how serious blood-related disorders are treated and expanding the potential impact of our existing portfolio of medicines.
