Ember Therapeutics is a product-focused company translating its biology in the emerging area of brown fat and recent breakthroughs in understanding the mechanisms of selective insulin sensitivity into a proprietary pipeline of peripherally-acting treatments for metabolic disease, including Type 2 diabetes and obesity. 

Envoy’s mission is to change drug discovery by advancing new drugs that act on targets expressed specifically in the cell populations important to diseases.  Their goal is to bring forth drugs that help millions of people while causing fewer side effects.  Envoy hopes to achieve this mission through their powerful technology, called “bacTRAP”, that allows them to measure, in vivo, the expression of each protein within any given cell type.

Eqalix is an emerging regenerative medicine development company with a goal of enhancing the quality of life of consumers and patients by providing nano-materials for the repair and regeneration of diseased, traumatized, and aging tissues. The company plans to develop and commercialize a plant-protein based nano-fiber scaffold for use in consumer markets and as a human skin substitute; small-diameter hybrid vessels that foster the creation of a functional endothelium after implantations; and 3D tissue scaffolds with adjustable properties for organ and tissue replacement and repair.

Eudendron is a start-up company devoted to the discovery and development of a new generation of Kinase inhibitors in the area of oncology personalized medicine. The company's molecular design aims to develop safer and effective drugs able to overcome drug resistance. Eudendron’s new generation of Kinase inhibitors will be the result of a drug process called KemKinase, which encloses molecular designs and in silico validation technology coupled to a Kinome-wide strategy, revealing at a very early stage the full spectrum of Kinase targets associated to the newly identified chemical classes.

Flexion Therapeutics discovers and develops innovative therapeutics for musculoskeletal disorders. In order to provide safe and effective products, they are merging novel pharmacology with local, sustained delivery of drug to the site of disease; an approach that aims to ensure lasting therapeutic effect and systemic safety.

Foundation Medicine is a molecular information company dedicated to a transformation in cancer care in which treatment is informed by a deep understanding of the genomic changes that contribute to each patient’s unique cancer. The company’s initial clinical product, FoundationOne™, is a fully informative genomic profile to identify a patient’s individual molecular alterations and match them with relevant targeted therapies and clinical trials.

Gamma Therapeutics is an early stage biotechnology venture developing solutions for cardiovascular disease risk assessment, biosurgical therapy and combat casualty care based upon the use of human biocompatible proteins, such as Gamma Prime Fibrinogen, responsible for the clotting mechanism in human blood. The product line includes its patent-pending flagship product, GammaCoeur™, a cardiovascular disease risk assessment assay; GammaSeal™, a patented, high strength surgical incision and wound healing sealant; Gammarin™, a patented anticoagulant blood thinner for use during and after surgery, and; GammaTF, a provisionally-patented fast-clotting hemostatic dressing for hemorrhage control.

Genea Stem Cells (GSC) develops disease-specific pluripotent and differentiated human cells for use in drug discovery and research. Based on the world’s largest private bank of human embryonic stem cells (about 100 lines/30 diseases), GSC supplies application-ready, disease-affected and control differentiated cell types and works collaboratively with industry for custom-developed cell-based assay solutions in drug development. All of GSC’s cell products are genetically unmodified human cells - the most accurate in vitro reflection of clinical conditions.

GigaGen envisions a future where doctors routinely use an immune "fingerprint" to help manage complex medical problems such as transplantation, autoimmune disease, and cancer. The GigaMune™ technology combines microfluidics, next-generation sequencing, and bioinformatics to digitize your immune system into an immune "fingerprint".

Global Blood Therapeutics is a product-focused company building a pipeline of innovative, oral medicines to improve the treatment of chronic blood-based diseases and severe genetic disorders for which there are currently no cures available and only extremely limited therapeutic options. The company's unique SHAPE Platform is enabling the discovery and development of small molecule drugs that change the shapes of key blood proteins to modify their functions, enhance vital biological pathways and drive therapeutic benefits.
