GeneVentiv Therapeutics

GeneVentiv Therapeutics

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

At GeneVentiv, we’re blazing a trail. We’re driven by curiosity. We’re fueled by learning expressed as innovation. Our mission is to discover, develop and deliver gene therapies for patients who had no hope of a cure – until now. We are founded on discovery bringing together insights into Adeno Associated Virus (AAV) directed gene therapy, Hemophilia and how to use the common pathway in the clotting cascade to surmount the obstacle of inhibitors. Patients with inhibitors are unable to respond to current therapies and gene therapies in development due to neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) formed by the body in response to treatment with missing clotting factor. Our goal is to cure inhibitor patients with a single lifetime infusion, not to offer a half measure of weekly injections of a bypass agent.

OncoTAb, Inc.

OncoTAb, Inc.

9201 University City Blvd, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, 28223

OncoTAb, Inc., a North Carolina based biotechnology company, was founded by Mayo Clinic alumna Dr. Pinku Mukherjee, with a mission to improve the quality of cancer care by addressing unmet cancer diagnostic and therapeutic needs. The company has just launched its first product: Agkura™ Personal Score – a simple, non-invasive blood test that aids breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue. Roughly half of the women in the US have dense breast tissue and mammograms miss 50% of the breast cancers in these women, resulting in late stage diagnosis and mortality. Agkura™ Personal Score measures the biomarker tumor-associated MUC1 (tMUC1) and shows a trend of increasing value from benign disease through breast cancer stages 1 to 4. Women can monitor their personal score in conjunction with annual mammograms. A score above the normal range or an increase greater than normal variation will trigger a recommendation for diagnostic imaging (ultrasound or MRI), resulting in earlier stage diagnosis of breast cancer. The company is also working on developing treatments for breast and pancreatic cancers.

Monoclonal Antibody

Villaris Therapeutics

Villaris Therapeutics

Cary, NC

Villaris Therapeutics is a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel antibody therapeutics for the treatment of vitiligo. A recent discovery revealed that an immune pathway, initiated by IL-15 signaling and its formation of autoimmune memory T cells (TRM), was responsible for the return of vitiligo usually soon after stopping treatments. Targeting this pathway therapeutically was very effective at reversing the disease in a mouse model of vitiligo with long-lasting results. Villaris Therapeutics is developing a novel humanized anti-IL-15R antibody to target depletion of TRM for the effective and durable treatment of vitiligo and other tissue-specific autoimmune diseases that also involve these cells.
