Commit Biologics

Commit Biologics

Not available

Commit Biologics (Commit) is a pioneer in activating the complement system to kill specific target cells, with applications in cancers and autoimmune diseases. Spun out of Aarhus University, and building on more than three decades of research, Commit's Bispecific Complement Engaging (BiCE™) platform can supercharge a conventional monoclonal antibody to activate the complement system more effectively. This is achieved by combining single domain antibodies that engage C1q, the starting point for the complement activation cascade, with an antibody that binds to a cellular target. The modular approach of the BiCE™ technology can be used to develop therapeutics across multiple tumor-associated antigens and immune cell targets. Complement is a largely untapped aspect of the body's natural immune system that leverages both the direct cytolytic activity of complement along with its ability to bridge recruitment and activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells – a new approach to killing cells which can be used in combination or on a standalone basis. Commit is backed by major investors including Bioqube Ventures and Novo Holdings, as well as initial funding from the Bio Innovation Institute from Denmark.

Fida Biosystems

Fida Biosystems

Søborg, Denmark

Fida Biosystems (Fidabio) offers a new proprietary technology developed for quantification and characterization of proteins and nanoparticles from 0.5 to 1,000 nm Dh, incl. antibodies, liposomes, exosomes, membrane embedded proteins et al. Based on accurate, in-solution, absolute measurements of hydrodynamic radius, the technology provides precise information about Kd, concentration, size, stoichiometry, conformational changes, oligomeric state, immunogenicity, multiple bindings etc. It is characterised by being fast (minutes), requiring very small sample amounts (ul-nl), and being exceptionally tolerant to the sample matrix, incl. plasma, serum, cell lysate, fermentation media etc. Contrary to most other procedures, the methodology is based on binding in homogenous solution; complications related to non-specific surface adsorption and challenging assay development are therefore avoided. I.e. the unique features of the FIDA technology enable characterisation and quantification in native (biorelevant) environments and in-built assay quality control and automation.

GlyProVac LLC

GlyProVac LLC

Odense, Fyn

GlyProVac has via its proprietary platform technology, BEMAP, discovered that 1) O-linked protein glycosylation is a surprisingly abundant post translational modification in bacterial, 2) glycoproteins are linked to increased immunogenicity. GlyProVac aim to be the first to explore and exploit this novel class of antigens as candidates for vaccine development. The GlyProVac lead YghJ/SslE/AcfD is a conserved protein with a known biological function and has vaccine potential not only in ETEC but also in UPEC. Using BEMAP, GlyProVac has identified 59 glycosylated residues in YghJ. We are in the PoC phase and currently work to establish that glycosylated YghJ elicit a more protective immune response compared to the non-glycosylated version.

In Europe, the prevalence is estimated to be 6–8% of the general population. Chronic neuropathic pain represents an enormous personal and economic burden. Neuropathic pain is a chronic disorder resulting from damage or dysfunction of the nervous system. Causative factors are lesions in or disorders of the nervous system, such as injury, pressure, toxic agents (e.g., chemotherapy), viral infections, and metabolic disorders. These lesions lead to aberrant functioning of sensory nerve cells, resulting in a chronic, debilitating sensation of pain. The complexity and variability of chronic neuropathic pain necessitates a multifaceted treatment approach and highlights the need for a more effective and safer treatment options. The global neuropathic pain market is estimated to be valued at USD 7.6 bn.
