About

4basebio

4basebio

Cambridge, GB

4basebio is enabling next generation cell and gene therapies and vaccines with its technologies and solutions. We are able to design, manufacture and supply application-specific synthetic DNA or mRNA as well as targeted non-viral vectors for the delivery of nucleic acid payloads. Our novel synthetic DNA technology offers unique customisation potential, rapid turn-around times, and improved safety profiles, addressing the current limitations of plasmids and other DNA technologies. We currently offer four DNA construct types, each ideally suited for use in viral and non-viral vector applications, genome editing, vaccines and therapeutics, and DNA vaccine applications, respectively. Our proprietary non-viral delivery system, Hermes™, is a nanoparticle vector that can be customised to target cells or tissues of interest for a range of applications. This combines the safety and efficiency of lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs) with the specificity of a targeting system, addressing the shortcoming associated with both viral vectors and non-targeted LNPs.

BiVictriX Therapeutics

BiVictriX Therapeutics

Macclesfield, Cheshire, United Kingdom

BiVictriX is an emerging drug discovery and development company generating a pioneering new class of next-generation anti-cancer therapeutics which exhibit superior selectivity towards the cancer. Existing antibody-based approaches have shown considerable therapeutic benefit in a number of cancer indications, however the wider application of these drugs to more challenging settings is limited by the shared expression of the targeted antigens on healthy tissues. Thus leading to debilitating and sometimes fatal toxic side-effects associated with treatment. The lack of true cancer specificity seen with existing platforms has resulted in many antibody-based therapeutics being removed from the clinic and is one of the major factors limiting the development of this otherwise promising therapeutic class. BiVictriX's Bi-Cygni therapeutics are engineered to selectively target unique cancer-specific twin antigen fingerprints, which are largely absent from healthy cells. The Bi-Cygni approach links the Company's in-house panel of cancer-restricted twin antigen fingerprints to generate the next generation of bispecific ADC therapeutics with enhanced therapeutic index, across a broad range of malignant indications. The Company's initial focus is on the generation of Bi-Cygni Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), with future plans to expand the technology to other therapeutic modalities (Cell engagers and CAR-T).

Causeway Therapeutics

Causeway Therapeutics

Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom

Maintaining musculoskeletal health is the keystone of overall health as we get older. As we age our physical condition gradually deteriorates, leading to loss of strength, fitness and mobility. In most cases, this isn’t due to a simple decision to stop exercising. It is due to the breakdown of musculoskeletal function caused by disease. Musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoarthritis, tendinopathy and lower back pain are the primary causes of disability and early retirement in people over the age of 65. Currently, there are no approved disease-modifying drugs for these diseases, meaning that physical decline in old age is inevitable. At Causeway, we believe that physical decline in old age is not inevitable and in indeed may be reversible. To address this, we are developing a range of therapies that treat common MSK diseases that will allow us to remain fit and active into our nineties and beyond. Staying active as we get older also reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis, dementia, diabetes, obesity, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Harness Therapeutics

Harness Therapeutics

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

At Harness Therapeutics we have one mission – physiological upregulation of targets that have the promise to provide disease-modifying therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. We use a range of mRNA-targeted oligonucleotide-based methodologies to alter the post-transcriptional regulation of protein synthesis and so increase the target protein in a controlled manner. Our focus on neurodegenerative disease is driven by our passion to develop truly disease-modifying therapies for diseases that affect so many people, yet for which there are few if any therapies that can slow or halt the progression of the disease. The ability to effect controlled increases of protein levels is essential in being able to safely drug targets with narrow therapeutic windows, something that existing platforms cannot achieve. This is critical for neurodegenerative disease as there are now a number of targets that have strong genetic validation linked to disease progression but require controlled increases rather than knock-down or over-expression. Our goal is to open up the target space for neurodegenerative disease and be able to advance effective treatment solutions for the tens of thousands of patients and their families who are facing the certainty of irreversible disease progression, loss of quality of life, and ultimately death. Our name reflects our approach, built and refined since our formation in 2020; harnessing the body’s endogenous cellular processes controlling protein synthesis to achieve controlled increases in protein levels in the safest possible manner. We use our deep expertise in RNA biology/bioinformatics and neuro cell biology to probe the intricate regulation of each target and identify multiple upregulation opportunities. Our multi-year experience focussed on physiological upregulation has allowed us to develop bespoke assays and analytical techniques to screen for constructs that drive small increases in protein, which is a key challenge in this space. Our sole focus on neurodegeneration has allowed us to build deep expertise in the biology of neurons and our targets, and the best possible models for disease – critical in being able to de-risk and translate candidates to the clinic. Neurodegenerative disorders are chronic conditions that destroy parts of the nervous system over time, especially the brain. They result in progressive loss of cognitive and motor function and eventually, death. The most common neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Motor neuron disease (MND), Huntington’s disease (HD), Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). It is estimated that more than 50 million people worldwide are affected by neurodegenerative diseases and this number is increasing as overall life expectancy increases. Most of these conditions are much more likely to happen in people over 65, but some conditions like Huntington’s disease and ALS often appear much earlier.

Senzo

Senzo

London, United Kingdom

SENZO HEALTH HAS DEVELOPED A REVOLUTIONARY LATERAL FLOW TEST WHICH DELIVERS THE SAME ACCURACY AS LABORATORY-BASED PCR, WITH RESULTS AVAILABLE WITHIN 10 MINUTES, AT A FRACTION OF THE COST. This breakthrough technology is currently being applied to the world’s most prevalent diseases and infections where earlier and more prevalent diagnoses can make the biggest impact. Founded with the goal of developing PCR accurate point-of-care diagnostics for the world’s most deadly diseases, Senzo Health builds high sensitivity, low-cost, real-time testing technologies. PRICE Laboratory-based diagnostics are expensive, to the individual, the insurer, and the system. By lowering the price of modern diagnostics, we dramatically increase their use and value within healthcare. ACCURACY The Senzo Amplified Lateral Flow test is PCR-accurate. This means that for the first time we can bring testing for a range of new infections and diseases out of the laboratory and closer to the patient enabling a revolution in both diagnostics and treatments. SIMPLICITY Current diagnostics are too complex. From appointments to samples to laboratories to results. By simplifying diagnostics and bringing accurate and real-time testing to the patient, we can save money, save resources and save lives. SPEED Testing is about accurate results. The faster we can return a diagnosis, the sooner we can begin a treatment. Currently, patients and health care professionals often wait days for results. Real-time testing changes this forever, removing the gaps between consultation, testing, data and treatment. ACCESSIBILITY Accurate diagnostics today remain unevenly distributed. The only way to bring testing to patients in lower-income areas is to replace the complex central laboratory model with an affordable point-of-care diagnostics system without sacrificing accuracy.
